Earthquake Victims In South Asia Need Our Help
For some reason, unlike last year’s tsunami and this year’s North American hurricanes, the earthquake in South Asia is getting very little publicity. The sad fact is that they are far, far, far behind of what they need in terms of international aid. I know it’s been an expensive year with the tsunami and Katrina, but please, if you can, try to give something (and try to get your company/organization to match your funds).
Here’s a document detailing what is still needed in terms of aid:

And if you’d like to contribute while experiencing some great food and culture, check out Tasveer’s events for the next week: http://www.tasveer.org/ Tasveer is a group organized around independent south asian films, and this weekend they’re doing a benefit dinner where they’ll be screening a bunch of shorts. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go due to a paper deadline, but let me know if you’re thinking about it and I might be inspired to work hard and finish early
