>Yes, it is *horrible* (doesn't quite describe) what happened, but there ARE things and ways you can help with. First off...check my article and links below...and all of the major players are saying *cold hard cash* is what is needed...not blankets or anything like that. With money, they can buy whatever they want to from anywhere in the world, and there are tons of millions of things they need to buy. Also, they have to rebuild the infrastructure, everything from power grids to roads, sewers (for clean drinking water), etc. Hope that helps..as there is "a lot" we can do. Hope is Eternal...don't forget that.
Best and Peace,
Jay
