thatcrazycajunAMREF, UNICEF's Kenyan relief fund, the International Medical Corps and the Kenyan Red Cross Society have each now received $10 US, courtesy of myself and other members of GAFilk (Your Humble Correspondent kicked in an extra $15 atop the $25 we collected, making an even $40 to split evenly amongst the four agencies.)
My Songbird assures me that small amounts can go amazingly far in this situation, and the websites seem to bear that out; but even if the money only helps one or two people per agency, it's still more than worth the minimal effort it took to garner the valuta. And the links above are for those of you who weren't there or couldn't drop in the jar then, and might wish to donate; give it some thought—it's one of vanishingly few ways we here in the US and elsewhere can actually do something constructive to help alleviate the suffering brought about by the political/tribal violence there.
On both our behalfs, I thank all those who donated during the convention three weeks ago, and apologize for the whole thing taking so damn long. People, you make me proud to call myself a fan...and a filker.
