Pakistan-India Earthquake Relief Effort

[Martin]

Saqib, our good friend and author of <a href="http://www.pcsx2.net">PCSX2</a>, has asked of us to help in the Pakistan relief effort. Saqib was born and lives in Pakistan. Many of his family friends have been killed from this earthquake which killed 20,000-30,000+ people.

Hmm... donating is definately a good idea, but I don't think it's a good idea to "donate" directly into someones bank account. I'll probably give money to UNICEF instead.

Yes i have the same idea of TyBO, =( I give something to UNICEF
Sorry really, this are the true horrors of the world =°| peace at all.

i am a pakistani, but all my relatives are safe..

UNICEF needs to pay its workers, but if you pay some1 like saqib, all of it could directly go to the people who need it most! maybe he is planning to go there and help so he can deliver the money personally

[TyBO]

The amount of money that UNICEF needs to give to it's workers is minimal, since the workers aren't trying to make money. UNICEF just pays for the food, transportation costs, etc.

I'd bet Saqib does have good intentions, and will probably give money to those who need it, but there's still a small chance that he won't. I'd feel safer giving to UNICEF.
