Elhajj Habib:

I may have missed this one on my list but Islamic Relief is also very
active in helping the victims. You can visit their web site at
http://www.irw.org/

Thank you.

>>Folks:
>>
>>We are all stunned by the images in the media showing the aftermath of
>>Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
>>Efforts to rescue those still trapped by the flooding, providing
>>sustenance to those who are completely without and working to restore
>> life
>>in the affected areas to some sense of normalcy are under way.  Although
>>local, state and federal government efforts are in operation,
>>non-governmental organizations - NGO's - are also in action and are
>>critical to relief efforts.  Short of traveling to the affected areas and
>>volunteering to help, individual donations to relief agencies are
>> probably
>>the best way for any of us to help our fellow human beings in this time
>> of
>>extreme need.
>>
>>In that vein, I have listed below a few of the agencies involved in
>>Katrina relief efforts that are highly rated for their financial
>> efficency
>>by Charity Navigator. I am listing the web sites of these organizations
>> as
>>a potential target for your individual/family contribution or as a
>>starting point for research to an organization of your choice if you have
>>not already identified one.  Charity Navigator is an excellent source to
>>research legitimate and financially efficient organizations dedicated to
>>relief efforts.
