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:
1) Contribute 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
2) Contact your nearest Bangladesh Embassy and find out how you can help.

3) Organize a fund-raiser in your organization, college, university or
community
4) 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
