Philippine Disaster

[Scarey Mary]

I have just seen on fb Fred Olsen, Holland America and Seabourn have made a donation to the disaster fund and have made it so people can donate to this through them.

Come on Thomson where are you. I am sure lots of people would donate it's the least we can do.

Sorry if I have missed something and there is already somewhere to donate.

Thomsons have said, in a reply to a post on Facebook, that they will be donating to one of the official charities.

below is a partial list of relief agencies accepting donations to help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan:

• Citizens’ Disaster Response Center: An organization in the Philippines that provides community-based disaster management.
  
• The United Nations World Food Programme: The WFP has set up an online donation page that will help rush food and resources to the regions affected.
  
• International Rescue Commitee: The IRC is working to provide a strong humanitarian response to Haiyan victims.
  
• The Philippine Red Cross: Donations will help mobilize teams on the ground with rescue and relief efforts.
  
• UNICEF: Donations will help children gain access to medical supplies and clean drinking water. “Safe drinking water can be impossible to find after such a massive natural disaster. And without it, a child will drink whatever water she can find, no matter how dirty or diseased. That drink can quickly lead to diarrhea, disease and death,” UNICEF president Caryl M. Stern said.
  
• World Vision: World Vision is working to get food and resources to those in evacuation shelters.
  
• [/url]: Donate online for the Salvation Army’s relief efforts. In the United States, donate online here or text TYPHOON to 80888 to immediately donate $10.
  
• Save the Children: Donations will help children and families in the Philippines, Laos and Vietnam. Ten percent of every donation will go toward preparing for any future disasters in the area.

As illustrated above, there are many organisations with international status that people can donate to.
