Re: Please donate to help earthquake victims of Pakistan (merged threads)

Are they still in need of blankets, sweaters, tents, etc?

I was talking to a coworker about what's happening. When she realized how many were left homeless and what they needed, she helped to organize a collection at the school that our students are running. I didn't even think to ask at work, but now I'm glad I brought it up. It's important to make people aware, outside of the Pakistani/Indian community. Everyone wants to help.

Check out www.saquake.org -- it's got a lot of links to different donation sites, including one that allows you to donate online to Edhi, if you prefer that.

Dont forget "Matching Gift" Programs!

I know many of us here are making donations for earthquake relief. Many mid- to large sized comanies have "matching gift" programs where the company donates the same amount as the employee to the same organization - so that your donation is effectively doubled. If you've already donated its ok, all you typically need to do is provide proof of your donation to the company.

Re: Please donate to help earthquake victims of Pakistan (merged threads)

I heard PIA has refused to take more items because they are overwhelmed and are having trouble transporting the donations.

Is this true?

Are other airlines that fly to Pak, like Emirates, planning to chip in?
