Earthquake Relief

Bloggers... it is your duty as human beings to donate whatever you can afford to the relief efforts headed towards the vast areas affected by Sunday's earthquake. Run, don't walk, to the Red Crescent Society anytime from now till Sunday to make your donations.


Meanwhile, this article is quite.... um.... thought-provoking. And then you can see readers' responses here.

زيدون...........من الجميل أن يتنبه البلوغرز للمواضيع المهمة و الخطيرة التي يمر بها العالم. و أجد إأنك من الأوائل الذين اهتموا بهذه الكارثة. شكرا لك. أما عن الموضوع المرفق........ممممممممممممم هناك الكثير من الأسئلة التي نعجز عن الإجابة عنها. خلينا ساكتين أحسن.

Zaydoun,

Let's start a blog Campaign, you, me, Q, Mosan, Fusla, D&G, Jackie, Don, Jewaira, Tata and all of the Kuwait bloggers, to help the Asian tsunami disaster relief! What do you say?

احب اهني اعضاء البلوج على انسانيتهم الرائعه، والشكر للاحباب الي نشروا طرق التبرع عن طريق الانترنت.
شخصيا راح اتبرع عن هذه الطرق البعيده عن عنصريه هيئات التبرع الاسلاميه / العربيه او المحليه التي تربط المساعدات الانسانيه بالدين او الانتماء لعرق او لدوله او مذهب.
الحقيقه البوست هذا اشعرني بشيء من السعاده - خل نستقبل العام الجديد باعانه اخواننا في البشريه!

Zaydoun,

We can do this for starters: Uniform posts with links to all aid agencies, especially the ones with online donations. I have three already, let's dig out more ligit ones. Second: we can have banners on our blogs. Some of the guys with computer graphics skills can do this for all of us. Something with a slogan like "Kuwaiti Bloggers for Asia". Bounce back more ideas at me.
