Hey! Thanks for the concern. The situation here is pretty awful. Entire villages have been burned to the ground and people have lost everything. I think the total number of displaced people is around 200,000 right now and climbing. Last I heard, people in shelters needed blankets. The University I am affiliated with is collecting donations and many students are volunteering to cook and bring food to the victims who are living in sports stadiums scattered throughout my city. In case anyone is curious, the cost of a large blanket that can keep a family of 5 warm is about $10. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated! Let me know if you have any questions. Here is where donations can be sent:

CRCS and ICRS is working on emergency response to help the victims. You can spread the information to those who want to help by sending the money for donation to
