Relief Help

Way to represent peeps!

Saturday night was great fun...well, what I remember of it anyway.

I'm not sure if it's because we were all a little sloshed or if it's because we are generous and giving people, but either way, the donation drive for victims of South Asia's earthquake was a success.

After we pitched in to round the total off, we'll be giving
31,000 yen
to the cause.
The money will be donated to Mercy Corps to help with the organization's immediate response to health, education and shelter concerns and its work towards Pakistan's future recovery.

As donations should be made in dollars, I'll convert the cash and donate from America while I'm home for the holidays. If anybody wants to contribute more pocket change or paper, please get the moolah to me before 12/20, that's Tuesday of next week.

It's rewarding to think of the improvments this money will make in the lives of people who truly need it. Although we're removed from this tragedy by thousands of miles and set apart from it by a lack of understanding of the consequences of this type of disaster on such poor and unprepared nations, you all made an effort to do what you could to help.
You guys rock!
Thanks!
