#715 - j h woodyatt. I agree. Generally I avoid any religious charities, using Red Cross, Oxfam, Smith Family, MSF, Wilderness Society, WWF, National Trust, etc. The Salvos are usually practical helpers, tho', & it was the one I found that explicitly allowed international donations.
It's happily I report therefore that the Australian Red Cross donations form: — www.redcross.org.au/Donations/onlineDonations.asp — has 'Outside Australia' as a choice & a list of other countries in their drop-down menu. You can choose different projects for your donation.
Books: Better World Books — www.betterworld.com — sells 'deaccessioned' library books to raise funds for schools & literacy charities. They might have hints about recirculating books.
Surfacing from the murk to add that the Salvos have international donations already organised.

Relurking with gratitude for thoughts & wishes, tho' your funds may be too short to reach this far.
A quick query from foreign parts, spurred by the latest Bachmann/Tinklenberg (Immelman) brouhaha in Minnesota.
Can you have a write-in candidate in places with "voting machines" of one kind or another? How?
I like this:"We have a Stone Age brain," Immelman says. "When you say the kind of things Michele Bachmann has been saying, you activate the Stone Age brain, and people react in fear. You don't have to be 'bombed back into the Stone Age.' You can be scared back into the Stone Age, too."
