Pearl Jam recently made contributions to two organizations providing crisis relief for victims of the tsunami and earthquake: CARE and Save the Children. Information on these organizations, as well as two more doing good work in the communities affected, are listed below for all those who wrote asking where to contribute.
In addition, Ten Club is hosting several auctions in an effort to raise even more money for crisis relief efforts. Sealed, numbered copies of the Benaroya Hall LP box set are currently being auctioned on eBay . Proceeds from the auctions will be donated to Save the Children.
Oxfam America is sending food, water, hygiene kits, and plastic sheeting for temporary housing to Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
Doctors Without Borders and International Medical Corps are sending medical and health-care relief to the entire region.
Save the Children's foremost commitment is the immediate survival of children, but they are also poised to initiate activities addressing their longer-term physical recovery and emotional needs. SAVE has had a program in Banda Aceh, Sumatra since 1976, which is where the majority of those who have been confirmed dead were from.
CARE has a long-term presence in the most affected zones, including India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. CARE's priority is to meet immediate humanitarian needs and provide basic necessities, especially in the critical areas of clean water and sanitation. Once immediate needs have been addressed, they will help families stabilize and begin to restore their livelihoods.
