Pakistan flood

In January I did a few posts encouraging readers to consider donating money to Haiti.  A few of you e-mailed me saying you made a donation.  Thank you!

imageNow I am here to ask you to help people with another disaster.  Politics aside, over 20 million people are homeless and 3.5 million children are at serious risk due to water-borne diseases.  In fact, number of people impacted are greater than the 2004 Asian Tsunami, 2005 Pakistan Earthquake and 2010 Haiti Earthquake combined

Once again, I am not recommending a specific charity. I am myself donating to one not affiliated with the government of Pakistan (umm, obvious reasons).  There are plenty of good private charities.  This Government of Canada website lists a number of good charities.
