For US residents:
- The American Jewish World Service has an Emergency Appeal for Tsunami Relief. They take credit card donations by phone at 800-889-7146 or online, and checks by mail.
- The American Jewish Joint Distribution Comittee is accepting credit card donations by phone at 212-687-6200 or online, and checks by mail. Make sure you indicate “South Asia Tsunami Relief.” Press release.
I don’t know which Canadian, Israeli, or British organizations are working on this; if you do please tell me in a comment or email.
We don’t endorse any of these organizations per se, but this is an urgent situation and we don’t have time to play “choose the best charity organization.”
For first-person tsunami accounts, see here: this BoingBoing post. Or this one. Or just scan the site.
