Donations for Flood Victims (Colombian Red Cross, etc,)

Hi all,

I hate to sound like Mother Teresa with two charity related posts in as many days. I assure you I'm no saint.

I was curious as to whether anyone had seen any way to make donations for the victims of the floods in Colombia. Most of these people were poor to begin with and they have been left with nothing. I looked on the Colombian Red Cross site and ConexionColombia.com and didn't see anything related to the floods. I don't currently have Caracol Internacional so they may have something going on. Please post anything you hear about. I have sent an email to the Colombian Red Cross for information and will post anything they tell me.

Thanks,
CG

I am sure soon based on the news the Red Cross will be running out of supplies soon. I am sure in Miami some donation sites will be setup if they cannot get enough supplies from Colombian citizens in Colombia.
