We just received this from Mercy Corps. We encourage you to make a donation to Mercy Corps and to help them support the victims of the flooding in Pakistan:
I’ve just returned from a three-day assessment of flooding in southern Pakistan, and I can tell you the damage is historic — and far worse than anyone ever anticipated.
Fields once teeming with rice, cotton and vegetables are now completely submerged in water. Hundreds of impromptu tent camps have sprung up on whatever patches of dry land still exist. And tens of thousands of families are on the move, using any means of transportation to escape rising floodwaters.
Already, the floods have affected a staggering 20 million people. And the worst part is that in the region we visited, the waters are still rising and aren’t expected to recede for at least another week.
But there’s not a moment to spare. Please make a donation to our Pakistan Emergency Fund to help families affected by these epic floods.
Your donations are helping us get aid to families in urgent need. Thanks to your help, we’re now delivering clean water to residents in upper Sindh Province and will establish mobile health clinics to serve families living in camps.
As of last night, we’d already delivered more than 288,000 gallons of clean water in the hard-hit Swat Valley, serving about 10,000 people a day. Tomorrow we’ll start distributing the first of 500 emergency food kits with rice, cooking oil and other basics, as well as 330 tool kits to help families rebuild.
With daily temperatures exceeding 100 degrees, the provision of water, medical care, food and shelter is extremely important for these hurting families. Please give today to help us meet these needs.
From our team here in Pakistan, and the flood survivors we are helping, thank you for all your generosity.
Steve Claborne
Country Director, Pakistan

Thank you to everyone who has been lending support to the people of Haiti in their time of need. A wide variety of businesses have been and continue to provide opportunities to support Mercy Corps’ disaster relief in the area by shopping, dining, and more.
In addition, many Portland performing artists are organizing special events to raise funds for disaster relief. Here is a listing of some of the upcoming performance events that will support Mercy Corps:
Portland Opera Presents an Evening With the Stars of Cosi’ Fan Tutte for Haiti — TONIGHT!
The Portland Opera presents a special Concert of Popular Opera Arias & Ensembles and agrees to donate 50% of the proceeds of the concert to Mercy Corps to help support relief efforts in Haiti. More info: Portland Opera

You can see all of the details and purchase tickets at Songs for Haiti.
Blues For Haiti — January 31, 2010
On Sunday, January 31st, at The Refectory, Kevin Selfe has kindly agreed to hand over his weekly jam, and help us put together a show for the benefit of Haiti, and give all proceeds to Mercy Corps…every dime and penny you, dear Music Lover, can spare will go to helping the victims of this horrific, tragic event. In return, you will be treated to the some of the grooviest sounds and ear candy around the Northwest: Jim Wallace and the Housecats, Lloyd Jones, Dover Weinberg, Lisa Mann, Suburban Slim, Stu Kinzel, A.C. Porter & Big Noise, and Kevin Selfe and the Tornadoes, have all agreed to appear.
Admission is FREE, but that ain’t what this about…for more details, go to Blues for Haiti
Of course, you don’t need to attend an event or shop and such to lend your support. We encourage you to provide direct support to Mercy Corps for their emergency response to the earthquake in Haiti. Donate here.
Peace.
