let's help

Here's an article on what the technology giants are doing to allow greater access in enabling aid to Japan's Quake Relief Fund.

Here's something closer to home. It's heartening to know that Singapore Red Cross is working towards getting the banks to allow donation via the ATMs and IBs. For now, donations can be done via www.groupon.sg website, through Mercy Relief, through cheque as well as SMS to Singapore Red Cross.

From news reports, pressing problems in Japan's aftermath, include dwindling supply of food, water and fuel. Let's hope that neighbouring countries can send some supplies over first (ie. government initiated effort) while the monetary donations from citizens can steadily come in to purchase more necessities or used in the best manner for the quake survivors.
