With so much carnage spread across several countries, after the 9.0 earthquake and the resulting tsunami, my head is set on spin mode and is about to explode. Thankfully, Saheli has it all together on her blog. It's a great resource for information about how to help.

The earthquake and the tsunamis have caused the death of at least 20,000 people and devastated some of the most beautiful spots on this planet. Please make a donation, however small. We can work together to bring some semblance of sanity to our fractured lives.
