I work for BRAC and they have been raising money for flood victims for the last few days. They have allocated 20 crores for this cause, but have not been able to raise much. They have the infrastructure to really reach out to the villages and in my opinion one of the best avenues to allocate funds.
Also, I would urge people who live in cities with big Bangladeshi expats to set up colection booths at stores, (places like Church avenue in Brooklyn, or Jacksons heights in Queens). People want to pay, but do not have the resources.
People can also set up sth on online forums like facebook, myspace etc. I already contacted facebook, but dint get a reply. I was rather dissapointed.
Rebuilding after the floods is a time consuming process, so its never late to collect funds. And Banglacricket is probably a great place where about 5000 expat member visit. Thanks to admin and miraz bhai who has been working hard to get this great thing going.
