Just an update that we have not forgotten about this and will have an update on our plans to help by the beginning of next week, Pacific Standard Time.Yesterday when I woke up, I was really saddened to hear about the
horrible earthquake that hit parts of Asia and Africa. A large number of theSpoke's members come from southeast Asia, and my heart really goes out to anyone and everyone who has been affected by the tragedy.
I think that theSpoke should be able to help those in need right now. I set the question of the day tomorrow to ask how we as a community can help out the people in Asia/Africa. I'm curious to know people's ideas. I've thought of a few:
- Blogathon where theSpoke will donate a certain amount of money per blog entry during a 24 hour period.
- Donation matching program, where we match every donation from members to helping organizations.
MSNBC lists organizations that are accepting donations to help the people in the affected regions.
What do you guys think? Answer the QOTD or comment below, and let's see what we can do.
