I tend to agree...Mr/s Hibbins - Valuable insight. <br /><br />I tend to agree. Part of me still wishes that something more use than another reporter was on a plane to Japan, but the Japanese authorities do seem well organised internally and obviously can coordinate logistics of requests from overseas and then getting the stuff in and distributed. <br /><br />I hate the idea of delaying to ensure that what one does is for the best, but cash obviously can get there in an instant and be deployed with most immediate effect. A few minutes on various site options can give a fair feel for where the money will go.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550976834509947355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13989113.post-24958047868657348332011-03-15T14:42:35.944+00:002011-03-15T14:42:35.944+00:00JDG - tx for that.

Any things we send could be a nuisance as they have to be dispatched by some means and transport is totally disrupted. The local Red Cross will organise their funds as required, which might be road clearance, transport, packaging of appropriate sets of blankets, medicines, hygiene kits, food, water, etc. or whatever into, say, 100 person units complete with appropriate transport. Locals are the best judge.Hibbinsretired@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13989113.post-12195394669997523292011-03-15T11:25:02.772+00:002011-03-15T11:25:02.772+00:00Hi, I too am at a loss as what I can do, apart fro...Hi, I too am at a loss as what I can do, apart from feeling very grateful for everything and everyone I have.<br />I've made a donation to the British Red Cross, I believe they will spend funds wisely. http://www.redcross.org.uk/Donate-Now/Make-a-single-donation/Japan-Tsunami-Appeal<br /><br />Good luck in organising extra help for those affected in Japan.<br />Best wishes<br />Joey<br />http://joeysdreamgarden.blogspot.comJoey's Dream Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08911714755306558466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13989113.post-72686234410726477022011-03-14T13:28:44.853+00:002011-03-14T13:28:44.853+00:00Tx maggie.

Nothing mentioned to them as yet, but they asked me to write a letter to suggest folk who can coordinate such stuff get in touch.<br /><br />I am also preparing a special newsletter to Junkketeers to suggest they encourage this wherever they are too.<br /><br />I'd be interested what is needed more, and when... money, or 'stuff (shelter,food, etc)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550976834509947355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13989113.post-34318141400262534602011-03-14T12:52:43.226+00:002011-03-14T12:52:43.226+00:00hi after the tailand sumami (please accept appolog...hi after the tailand sumami (please accept appologies for spelling) the Lions clubs and Rotary clubs set up collection points for blankets etc. Keep an eye on the local press or empty shops to see if they do it again. Or you could organise a selling point with friends and donate the money. My oersonal favourite is Shelterbox as you can track the box that your money has helped to create.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862946642433989749noreply@blogger.com
