Your donation, no matter how little will go along way in helping those folks rebuild their lives.
If you want to donate in kind to help those suffer from ketsana Typhoon in the south of Laos, urgent needs are:
* Water and food (easy to cook/ ready to eat) * clean dry clothes (pregnant and baby's clothes / stuff is a must), blankets, mats, mosquito nets * slippers/ foot wear * medicines * vaccines * basic emergency kits (paracetamols, rehydration solutions, wound cleaning solutions, etc.)
If you are in Laos and not so busy you can also organize a group to help clean up the mess left by the typhoon. Doctors and nurse can also organize medical misisons, psychological couseling is also needed for the victims. Just make sure you coordinate with either the Red Cross or the Ministry of Welfare and Social Development.
Cheers!
