			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A number of people have e-mailed me asking what they can do to help financially.  As the <a href="http://twitter.com/RedCrescentSY">Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) reports on Twitter</a>, the Palestinian Red Crescent is in need of money for medical supplies, and the UNRWA is working on supplying flour.</p>
<p>After failing to figure out how to donate to SARC myself, I began looking into other options.  The <a href="http://www.un.org/unrwa/">UNRWA is accepting donations online</a>, so I gave $50 there.  <a href="https://secure.groundspring.org/dn/index.php?aid=1171">The Middle East Children&#8217;s Alliance</a> also provides medical aid to Gaza, and credit card donations are simple.</p>
<p>Fortunately for me, I was able to donate to SARC anyway, thanks to a friend who&#8217;s behind their <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jillian-york/the-efforts-of-the-syrian_b_155273.html">web 2.0 initiatives</a>:</p>

<p>(Thanks Anas!)</p>
