BlogAid for Asian Disaster Victims
As the immediate death toll from the December 26th earthquake and tsunami in Asia creeps closer to 150,000 and the region continues to be pelted with heavy rains, the millions of survivors are still faced with the dangers of disease, starvation, and death from exposure.
Andy Budd recently launched BlogAid in an effort to gather donations from the blogosphere that will go to help the disaster’s victims. The site’s honor-system pledge is simple:
I agree to pledge the earnings from advertising, affiliate programs or site sponsorship made from my site during January to my countries local Earthquake and Tsunami appeal.
I don’t have ads on this blog, but for those who do this is an excellent way to extend a helping hand to some people who are very much in need. At this writing seventy six bloggers have pledged to BlogAid, but much more will be needed to amass a significant contribution. If you have advertisements on your weblog, please consider participating.
