Reach Out & Help Someone
This is suppose to be a food blog, but I feel that the devastating impact and aftermath of the tsunami has left needs to be address. The sheer number of people effected by this natural disaster is just astronomical.
It was very gratifying to recieve an email today from the CEO addressed to the whole company stating that any contribution made by the employees [of the company I work at] to the International Federation of Red Cross or Red Cresent Societies will be matched dollar for dollar by the company. If your company has the same deal, please try to contribute. Any amount, no matter how big or small, goes towards helping someone very much in need. If your company doesn't have this deal, find out if they would be willing to start something similar.
