Yeah I heard about that, it's devastating. If you want people to help, the easiest and most convenient thing to do is donate to the Italian Red Cross which is the relief team helping there. Either that, or help personally if you're near. Any Dollars here from Italy?
>>1 If you live locally go ahead i,e help out with water and food and stuff but in that kind of situation it's best to leave it to the professional rescue teams.
off topic gasp someone has a name close to mine and I mean very close >>4
If you're so eager to help Italians, draft a Dollars holiday camp in Italy to rebuild everything.
I don't think they need anything else, though. The gov. is likely to have enough means to secure everyone. (All the more since only a few villages were destroyed, that's not like in Japan, Haiti, or with Katrina).
