Another thing, if you see a Google ad above for any relief agency collecting money for the earthquake (I see an Islamic-Aid ad right now), please do not click it. Instead, read off the URL and type it in your browser window. Everytime you click one of those ads, Google charges them money, which offsets some of the money they are raising.
COME HELP THE MOST NEEDY!
