Hi,
Yes. The news from China and Burma is heartbreaking.
It is unfortunate that the government of Burma does not appear to want to help its peole. That is the news we are getting over here anyway. I think many people would want to send money or goods if there was a good way to do it. I read that some groups are using ordinary people with entrance visas to Burma to bring help to the people.
It would be good if people wherever they live can be taught what to do in case of emergency as part of their formal education or by their communities. I don't know about other places in the U. S. or the world, but educational information about what to do in case of various emergencies is usually printed in phone books here. It is also taught in schools and included in the media a several times a year.
