15. You’d be surprised…

16. To help, you don’t need to create your own charity, or rally against nuclear power plants

17. All you need to do, is take some time from your day to donate to one of these charities

18. You can donate money to the Red Cross, who are helping the Red Cross of Japan.Note that 100% of your money goes to the disaster relief

19. You could donate some spare clothes to the Salvation Army.They’ve been in Japan since 1895, giving clothes to the needy

20. Another great organization to donate to would be Americares. It’s relief workers were sent there as soon as they heard about the disaster, and have been working in Sendai, the largest city closest to the impact zone

21. Donating to any one of these organizations would have an immense help. Now matter how much, please donate
