    It's great your joining in, Simba! We've managed to put the Chip-In on our sidebar now, and have donated as well. They certainly need all the help they can get, no matter the amount!

    Hi Simba. Great post!
    Thanks for your nice comment today. #1 thought you might be interest in this paragraph from an email she received from a Australian friend in Japan today:

    "I've been watching the international media and of course they've been fuelling anxiety - as if the biggest earthquake in Japan in modern records, and one of the biggest in the history of the world, is not enough, and a tsunami of comparable proportions is not enough, only a full-scale nuclear disaster could satisfy the desire of CNN etc. for more and worse news. But from now on - if there are no really major aftershocks anytime soon, and we have to just pray there won't be - it won't be news, it will be just be a long slog .... grief, removal of remains, a hideous job but not news ... and then work towards recovery. That will be years."

    We'll check it out but we're very cautious. Too many charities use donations to first pay their overheads (staff salaries, travel, conference fees etc) before passing the remaining $$$ on to the people/things/animals they are supposed to be helping. We know of charities that spend just 10 Sen in every 1 Ringgit on the things we think we're paying towards. Unless we see breakdowns of how charities spend the money we give them, we're keeping our spare money to buy groceries for our local orphanage and food for our local no-kill shelter. Mean? No. Just fed up of being scammed by professional buzzards who use disasters to line their own pockets.
