China & Myanmar

My heart breaks...that's all I can say...the amount of humanity, the amount of special souls that have been snuffed out by nature. The amount of devastation caused by Hurricane Nargis and the earthquake in Sichuan.

Take the time, do what you can to help...even if it isn't directly...the worst is not over by far. The natural disaster is most times just the beginning of the suffering. There will be more dead found. There will be disease. There will be starvation.

Two organizations close to my heart work in these areas: Half The Sky did amazing work with HTS and non-HTS orphanages back during the cold in China. They will I'm sure step up to the plate again to help these neediest of neediest. Also, not related to the devastion, but a wonderful organization: A Child's Right. They help provide clean water filtration systems to orphanages. This will be an issue in the coming months, moreso than it is every day. Or any organization that you think will help...
