[Promotion] Pakistan flooding...
Just wanted to forward this along... I think the many lovely LYKs can collectively make a small diff and share our blessings here with the ones waiting for the blessings  Plus, we get a big tax break from the donation ;)
Can do online donation via www.redcross.ca or i'm sure there's other organizations too.

Flooding devastates millions in Pakistan
Monsoon rains have caused extensive flash flooding throughout Pakistan, killing more than a thousand people and causing widespread damage. Around 2.5 million people have been affected, and the rains are expected to worsen this week.
The Pakistan Red Crescent Society, which has branches and volunteers across the country, has been helping survivors since the flooding began by delivering food, health services, shelter and relief items (including hygiene kits and cooking equipment).
The Canadian Red Cross has been working in Pakistan since the earthquake of 2005. Two in - country Mobile Health Units have been deployed to affected communities. The Canadian Red Cross will also be providing a seven person paramedic team to support health needs in camps. The Canadian Red Cross is on stand-by if additional assistance is required.
Canadians wishing to help support relief efforts underway in Pakistan are encouraged to contribute by donating online, calling 1-800-418-1111 or contacting their local Red Cross office. Cheques should be made payable to the Canadian Red Cross, earmarked “Pakistan Floods 2010” and mailed to the Canadian Red Cross National Office, 170 Metcalfe Street, Suite 300, Ottawa, Ontario, K2P 2P2. |
