The truth is, Haiti needs your help more<\/a>. A very large percentage of the people of Haiti who were rendered homeless from the earthquake there are still homeless, and the situation in that region is probably worse<\/a> in many ways than it was the day after the quake. Missionaries<\/a> are in there picking up the slack, which of course a very bad idea. So give something for Haiti, please.<\/p>\n

But right now, it is appropriate and necessary to help Japan. Here’s a small selection of secular organizations that are mediating the transfer of funds to places where money can help:<\/p>\n

Civic Force Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami Appeal. <\/a><\/p>\n

Japan Center for International Exchange Earthquake Relief and Recovery<\/a><\/p>\n

Japan Society Earthquake Relief Fund<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the next few days you’ll see a lot of appeals on Scienceblogs.com to help Japan. I’m sure there will be many other excellent options from which you may chose.<\/p>\n

So far there is this:<\/p>\n
