Like everyone else, I’m just stunned at the suddenness and magnitude of the disaster in East Africa and South Asia as a result of the earthquake and resulting tsunamis. This is a time when all of us in the human family need to help each other. To that end, I’ve assembled a set of links here for you (if you’re so inclined) to send aid, donations, etc. I’ll be back with more astronomy in a few days.
CNN has a listing of relief agencies geared to help the people in those regions.
Direct Relief International has set up a news center on their pages, along with donation links.
The Tsunami Help Blog has links to a number of relief efforts and missing-relatives pages.
And finally, Amazon.com has set up a direct-donation link that is funneling 100 percent of money donated to the American Red Cross for relief efforts.
