There are now plenty of opportunities to help those affected by the earthquake in Pakistan. You can donate to the Oxfam appeal here, for example. I’m not going to run a special appeal this time, but if anyone wants to give suggestions for future activities of this kind that would be great. In the meantime, please give generously.

We have chipped in for 100 Dollars, on a low budget. Hope compassion fatigue is not happening here. Reckon, somebody might be able to match that. Oxfam or better suggestions for others?
Have heard about 3 million are homeless and need winter tents. Hope this one does not go under the media radar.
