Hello! [personal profile] the_future_modernes asked me to repost this:

* The flooding in Australia is still bad, bad, bad. Both the Australian Red Cross and the Queensland Government homepage are good places to donate (via [personal profile] copperbadge).

* There's also flooding in Brazil, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Sri Lanka. And Columbia is still recovering from flooding in early December. Googling gets me the Brazilian Red Cross (in Portuguese), the Philippine Red Cross, the Malaysian Red Crescent, the Thai Red Cross, the Sri Lanka Red Cross, and the Columbian Red Cross (in Spanish). Anyone know of other repudiable organizations?

Thanks! We actually haven't gotten around to mentioning the flooding in Australia, though, so can you please give us a link to that as well! Thanks ever so:)

I imagine Medecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders will be their usual reputable selves in helping heal a world of hurt.

Goodness knows they're needed now more than ever. :(
