Many people in iEARN have asked what they can to do to help people affected by the earthquake and tsunami that devastated communities in a number of south and southeast Asia this week.
There are many international relief agencies working daily to provide food, clothing, shelter, water and health care to people in need. Please feel free to participate in these efforts/organizations.
In addition, we created a bank account for funds collected for earthquake relief following the disaster in Bam, Iran last year. If you and your schools would like to send funds from around the world for distribution and use in the affected countries, please use this account.
iEARN will create an international Committee to work with the iEARN Coordinators in the affected countries to oversee distribution of the funds and to report back to the international community where the funds were distributed and used. Our focus will be on education and the needs of children. We will consult with the iEARN people in India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand and elsewhere to use your donated funds to assist in the re-establishment of education opportunities and in the re-building of lives of children affected by this calamity. As we work with iEARN people in these countries, we will keep you informed of plans and developments.

We are working with some donors to match the amount of the wire transfer fees so that the full amount donated will actually arrive at the schools and communities to be aided.
We are also talking to Western Union to create a partnership through which the fees to transfer funds through Western Union for earthquake relief will be totally waived. We hope that there will be no fees for transferring funds for earthquake relief through this partnership.
We see these efforts as being long-term and hope you will join in them.

iEARN
