BEYOND THE FREE LUNCH
India
Today,
In the next few weeks, sites that send relief to the cyclone-hit in
Orissa are going to mushroom. First off the block has been Cause An
Affect at www.causeanaffect.org which uses sponsored donations to
send food to the needy in Orissa. 20,000 donations of 50 paise each
were made on the day the site was launched.
The numbers are growing. All you need to do is click once on the site
and one of the sponsors (SBI, Hyundai, HerbalLife, in-Biz.net and
Hyderabad Urban Development Authority; additional sponsors wanted)
makes the donation on your behalf. Again, this is not an original
idea (see www.thehungersite.com), but one that needed to be Indianised.
Cause An Affect makes The Hunger Site idea work for India. You can
view some of the nightmarish images of the disaster, catch up with
relief work and while you are at it, someone, somewhere, in Orissa
will benefit.
