Dear Friends,
One of the strongest cyclones in recorded history hit Bangladesh on Nov 15. The cyclone claimed an estimated 10,000 lives, rendered millions homeless and cause significant damage to crops and infrastructure. We have created a portal called AID Bangladesh (www.aidbangladesh.org) to disseminate up-to-date information about Cyclone Sidr and mobilize support for survivors. Aid efforts have been slow and survivors are now in dire need of food, water, medicine and shelter. Here are some ways you can get involved:Make a contribution to an organization assisting cyclone survivors. Find out whether your organization provides matching grants. You can find a list of relief organizations at http://aidbangladesh.org/3.html
Contact your nearest Bangladesh Embassy and find out how you can help. Click here for list of Bangladeshi Embassies Worldwide
Organize a fund-raiser in your organization, college, university or community
Share the "Aid Bangladesh" link and links of organizations supporting cyclone survivors with your friends and family. You can send an email, post this link on your blog and share it within your network on Facebook, MySpace etc.
If you have any questions or comments or would like us to post your information on the "Aid Bangladesh" site, please email us at info@aidbangladesh.org
Regards
Aid Bangladesh Team
