There are claims online that some phone companies are not forwarding immediately to Japan contributions that donors are sending via text.
Here is a list of organizations to which contributions can be made directly:
Oxfam America: http://chn.ge/hd3n4C
International Medical Corps: http://chn.ge/hhkQhT
Habitat for Humanity: http://chn.ge/e8OX7r
UN Foundation: http://chn.ge/hVZ5uu
American Red Cross: http://chn.ge/eWtkti
UNICEF: http://chn.ge/hDASyY
Remember too that this is very tough for Japanese nationals and friends of Japan among us in Wisconsin. A sympathetic word or kind deed would go a long way to helping them through this anxious time.
ReplyDeleteI second the comment. I had a three-week fellowship to Japan; people there were welcoming and selfless.
