Donate for Myanmar Relief
Posted May 6th, 2008 by Steve Hanson
News from the Myanmar cyclone seems to become more grim with each
passing hour. It now appears that the damage and suffering caused by
this cyclone may be worse than the outcome of the tsunami in the area.
Many of you may be wondering how you can help. Some of the charities
that are Charity Navigator approved that are collecting funds for
cyclone relief include:
• International Committee of the Red Cross
• World Food Programme
• Save the Children
• World Vision
• UNICEF
• International Rescue Committee
You may donate at any of these sites. These organizations are attempting to bring supplies and aid to the country, although currently they are being hampered by bad roads and visa problems.

You cannot make this up.
The folks that ignored Katrina, and still have done little to nothing significant on the recover end, are throwing stones at Myanmar.
