Haiti has been hit by three hurricanes in two weeks. They desperately need help. Over one million people are homeless.
Oxfam
MSF
Save the Children.
Please circulate this.
The new Prime Minister came into office in the middle of the hurricanes. One very real worry is that this will destabilise the government in a country that is always looking over its shoulder for fear of foreign intervention.

I would add that the US coast is also getting its share at the moment. I think that the whole world is one organism, but if you are an American, there is also OxfamAmerica.
EDIT: There is also the British Red Cross; the money will go straight to the Haitian Red Cross, which is doing the bulk of the disaster response work because it's actually based there (via
sneerpout ). That's where I decided to donate a few £.
