Japan Earthquake and Tsunami: How To Help

Salam and hello everyone. I believe most people in this world already know about this disaster that was hit Japan on Friday, 11 March 2011. I’ve been following the updates on this disaster since its first day until now, and I can’t do anything other than just pray for their safety. I’ve contacted some of my friends in Japan and glad to hear they are all safe from any accidents and injuries. Thanks Allah and Alhamdulillah.

Up until now, police estimate death toll in quake-hit Miyagi prefecture, Japan, could surpass 10,000. This is a big disaster for Japan. This is not the only issue, 2 nuclear reactors located in Fukushima and Onagawa currently under nuclear emergency after its reactor core cooling system has failed to operate. This is no more an issue that only Japan need to concern, this issue involves the whole world and any nuclear accidents that may happen will not cause harm to Japan only, but probably the whole world. I hope Japan and other countries which are currently working on the solution for this problem may come out with a solution that can avoid any nuclear accident from happen from these 2 unstable nuclear reactors power plant. Let us pray for that.

As for now, there are number of organizations that currently on their way and already in Japan for rescue and working on recovery after the disaster. You are welcomed to donate on these organizations, but if you are unable to do so, just pray for their safety and spread out the words about these donations.

• AMERICAN RED CROSS: Emergency Operation Centers are opened in the affected areas and staffed by the chapters. This disaster is on a scale larger than the Japanese Red Cross can typically manage. Donations to the American Red Cross can be allocated for the International Disaster Relief Fund, which then deploys to the region to help. Donate here.
• GLOBALGIVING: Established a fund to disburse donations to organizations providing relief and emergency services to victims of the earthquake and tsunami. Donate here.
• SAVE THE CHILDREN: Mobilizing to provide immediate humanitarian relief in the shape of emergency health care and provision of non-food items and shelter. Donate here.
• SALVATION ARMY: The Salvation Army has been in Japan since 1895 and is currently providing emergency assistance to those in need. Donate here.
• AMERICARES: Emergency team is on full alert, mobilizing resources and dispatching an emergency response manager to the region. Donate here.
• CONVOY OF HOPE: Disaster Response team established connection with in-country partners who have been impacted by the damage and are identifying the needs and areas where Convoy of Hope may be of the greatest assistance. Donate here.
• INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CORPS: Putting together relief teams, as well as supplies, and are in contact with partners in Japan and other affected countries to assess needs and coordinate our activities. Donate here.

Bloggers, We Care Each Other

Salam and hello everyone. This is a special entry dedicated to a campaign which is currently running by hundred of bloggers in the mission to help one of our friends, Megat. This campaign was inspired by Hydir in the mission to collect the donation to help Megat with his problems he is currently facing now. Megat is the nickname of Faisal Amirul Othman, who is a blogger too. Since he is mostly known as Megat in this blogsphere, I hope you don’t mind if I used his nickname in this blog entry. Anyway, you can give a visit to his blog here.

So, the purpose of this campaign as I’ve mentioned earlier is to collect the donation to help Megat solves the problems he is currently facing now. For details about what are the problems Megat currently facing, you can read about it in this entry “Tangisan Aku, Isteri dan Anak-anak” which was written by Megat a few days ago. Megat blogs in Malay, so I hope you can understand what he has written in that entry. To be honest, I’m the one of his blog readers start from last year when he was blog about his “unknown-mystery-disease” and continually follow his updates from that moment. Anyway, since he was not blog about his life about a few months ago, I thought his disease is already cured or maybe get better, but otherwise. When I read his entry about a few days ago, I realized that his life becomes tougher than I’ve ever imagined before.

So, how could you help Megat?
