Why Does Kamala Harris Disrespect Minorities by Imitating their Accents.?

[killakenz]

Does anyone know where in Chiang Mai one can make donations for the Tsunami survivors? Thanks.

Donate online to The Red Cross, they're a good organisation and you can specify the Tsunami relief.

I was thinking more along the lines of material items. i.e. cloths, toiletries, canned foods etc.

Money will be utilised much quicker.

And donations to the American Red Cross can often be matched by companies, doubling the amount you are giving.

I'm not sure that the OP was being serious, I am sure he knows the best way to get relief to these poor people in such circumstances. However, he has highlighted that it is important to help as much one is able.

i do feel sorry for them but japan is the 3rds world largest economy

i think theres other country's that need help more than them but not as well documented on bbc news so are over looked

You have a point CG and one wonders where all the hundred's of millions pumped in Haiti went?

That was some time ago and nothing seems to have happened, except it's now out of vogue and someone's probably getting fat..

Nevertheless, one should donate according to how they see things and be it Haiti or Japan, I think the Red Cross do good work at getting emergency relief/aid through.

Japan has actually asked that material items not be sent.

They are over burdened & say it would only create confusion & the need for more manpower.

Just monetary donations being accepted at this time.

As mentioned Red Cross is always good & they also have a few others ways now

Go online to redcross and donate or

Call 1-800-733-2767

You can also Text REDCROSS to 90999 for an automatic $10 donation

Although I do not know if that works from Thailand

i do agree that the red cross does a great job and bless them for it i just get a bit fed up with the news dictating who and how much we should feel sorry for people

one million people slaughtered in Rwanda no one lifts a finger

no help for the people of Libya that have lived under a cruel dictator for over 40 years until of course they need help producing oil when its all over

so now our compassion is limited to those we like or need ?

or those we call allies i think japan deserves our sympathy but i think your donations could be but to better use ells were

the costs are estimated at around 100 million pounds 150 million dollars or there abouts to rebuild and rehouse the people in the effected areas

for a country as rich as japan that is not a lot of money at all

I think you'll find that's 100-150 billion.

I do understand what you are saying though, if countries can pump almost a trillion dollars into banks and stock exchanges, they should be able to pay their own re-building costs.

I donate to The Red X and trust they will use the money wisely to help provide emergency relief for disaster victims wherever they are.

May be the OP could ask Asahi, Boon Rawd Brewery and the Chiang Mai Tourist Authority to donate in light of the fireworks display.
