If you can...Continued advice from online friend...<br /><br />If you can't think of any NGO or are not sure where to turn then perhaps The Well-known and highly respected Edhi Foundation is your safest bet. But your Zakat to your usual favourite charity should stay put. Some are losing funds to flood victims. That should not happen. Just have to contribute a bit more this time. -- NS<br /> <br />Where and what to give through Edhi<br /><br />As requested by you, I spoke to the Edhi Centres and they have provided the following information about where they are working in Sindh, and what kind of donations they need. They send out to other areas from here and will be adding other centres as soon as possible.<br /><br />Karachi <br /><br />Contact Person’s name: Anwer Kazmi<br /><br />Phone number: 021-32201261<br /><br />Information centre number : 021-32424125 (for details)<br /><br />Donations in cash or kind may be deposited here also:-<br /><br />Edhi Clifton office, near Agha Super market<br /><br />SUKKUR<br /><br />The Sind Relief Centre Sukkur is being run by Fasial Edhi himself,<br /><br />and he and Mr Uroos are the contact persons there.<br /><br />The phone number is 071-5626050<br /><br />Below are items still urgently needed for many places...CNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833518530559679192.post-2798736358503838172010-09-06T21:57:19.280-07:002010-09-06T21:57:19.280-07:00A most helpful online friend sent the following:

But there are fortunately NGOs you can trust completely. This time though, it makes sense to donate to the larger NGOs that are equipped and have the manpower to cope with disaster on scale. As it has turned out, its easier to raise funds and relief goods, but far more difficult or impossible to distribute them properly. It's better to join up with other NGOs who are equipped and experienced...<br /><br />See one such trusted group and a more or less "regular" or typcical such list of items to collect on next comment below...CNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833518530559679192.post-81618143357854680772010-09-06T21:54:57.281-07:002010-09-06T21:54:57.281-07:00Following are several lists which may provide some...Following are several lists which may provide some other outlets for people who want to donate yet may not be able to attend these trainings or may want to both go to these trainings as well as collect items from their own circles and donate along with the training:<br /><br />First, let me mention that there are many ways people are reaching out of course. One group led by a Director of a College Art Program is leading students in preparing packets for Eid - for a kind of "Happy Day" for those who've lost so much...with clothes for each person in a certain camp along with sweets and small gifts. Why not assemble some of these items and then give Yasir Sahib mentioned above with his email and ask him where to bring these and for any directions?<br /><br />More ways of contributing mentioned in comments below...CNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833518530559679192.post-40192790736266401992010-09-06T16:10:25.078-07:002010-09-06T16:10:25.078-07:00I have left off the streaming AND fb url due to te...I have left off the streaming AND fb url due to technical and other difficulties from a distance...(yet you may find a way to directly access these if you wish?
