2005 has been a traumatic year for victims of natural disasters which incidentally barraged us all over the world. The Southeast Asia earthquake and tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and Rita, and the Pakistan earthquake; all brought death and destruction in its wake. The damage was equal for all nations regardless of its economic status.
The blogosphere played an important part in disseminating information, collating resources, and offering avenues for fund raising. The team that brought you the SEA-EAT blog has now joined forces and rebanded to form the World Wide Help blog [disclaimer: I am also one of the contributors]. On the dark anniversary of the tsunami tragedy, we refocus the need to keep the relief work going and keeping hope alive for those who are still waiting for our help.
The Worldwide Help Blog has sent out a call for observing the Tsunami Remembrance Week from December 26th-January 1st. Write about it on your blogs. List your favorite charities or better still, make that last year-end donation. Use the Technorati tag – Disaster Remembrance Week [HTML code:<a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/disaster%20remembrance%20week"
rel="tag" rel="tag">Disaster Remembrance Week</a>]
DesiPundit rallied the blogosphere for the Blog Quake Day and we have listed our choice of charities there. In addition, we also recommend AID-India for their grassroots works during the tsunami. ProjectWhy is also an admirable effort and we support it regularly.
