Indonesia and The Philippines

I am so saddened by the devastation in Indonesia caused by the earthquake and the ensuing landslides. The Philippines have been affected by a Typhoon. Thousands of lives have been lost from these natural disasters. Thoughts and prayers from Americans go out to the victims of this terrible disaster. Here are a few of the countries that have offered assistance or are offering assistance to Indonesia : the U.S., Australia, Switzerland, Singapore, Turkey, South Korea, Germany, China, Qatar, UAE, Denmark, Thailand, Russia, Taiwan, and Norway.

I recommend the International Red Cross for anyone looking to help countries affected by these natural disasters. I am sure there are other agencies but they may take research to know if they are legit. Here is the web site for the International Red Cross:
