A fren sent this over just now. Not likely to end up on the wrong hands. Red Cross is an excellent way to go for Myanmar. They will hold back the money if they see things arent well distributed or used. I personally see the donations to Myanmar isnt likely to pick up due to the Junta's track record. Another story altogether in Sichuan. PRC Embassy is a good channel. So far the Chinese government has been exemplary in response. I salute them for their benevolence.
