There are two new tremendous opportunities to give.
First one: the category five cyclone in Bangladesh has killed more than 400 people, and hundreds of thousands of people have been rendered homeless. (See BBC news story here) Bangladesh, the neighbours in the East to us Indians, has always had it rough - they lost nearly a quarter million people to a cyclone in the early 90's and it is not uncommon at all for the yearly monsoon to wipe away all but a little of their infrastructure repeatedly.
You may give towards this cause via the trusted World Vision organisation.
The second opportunity is the flood ravaged Southern part of Mexico: more than a million people have lost their homes and there is a dire need for essentials as result of the floods earlier this month and the ensuing mudslides. As the wealthy neighbour in the North, Mexico is certainly our neighbour in Jesus-speak. (See the Good Samaritan story)
You may donate for the Mexican cause too via World Vision. World Vision is very well experienced in disaster relief work and they are highly regarded and trusted world-wide.
