A day of silence

On Friday, March 18, I will be participating in a blogger's day of silence to remember the people in Japan, and to raise awareness and donations. For more information on how to participate click here, or to donate, please click here. And please remember how much they need your prayers right now.

ShelterBox was one of THE first organizations asked by Japan to help and were on hand on the Saturday after the quake.  Each large, green ShelterBox is tailored to a disaster but typically contains a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water storage and purification equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children’s activity pack and other vital items. 

 Please check it out and whatever you can contribute will be so appreciated.

Another way you can help is through the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross is collecting text donations, according to Renee Kelly, an American Red Cross spokeswoman. To contribute, send a text with REDCROSS to 90999 and $10 will be donated to the relief efforts. (A similar initiative was hugely successful after the Haiti earthquake, raising more than $32 million.)
