Well, as if in answer to my donation conundrum, I got an email from one of my many email lists. It seems democracy for america is taking up the cause of donations for tsunami victims as well. DFA I trust (there’s a scary irrational statement to make, but also true). I realize they’re not doing the work directly themselves, but I trust them to channel it well. Plus I’m already on their thrice bedamned mailing list, so I can do it without getting on more.
turns out MSF has asked that donations earmarked specifically for the tsunami victims be halted. Un-earmarked funds are appreciated still though. Apparently MSF says that they have more than enough money for it now. They are still soliciting donations, but they have to use earmarked funds specifically for wht they are marked for, by law.
so, apparently thailand and sri-lanka have had enough.
