Let’s Show Japan Some Love

March 13, 2011 By Merve

Japan EarthquakeThe recent events in Japan has shocked and worried people all over the world. Raw footage and images of the earthquakes and tsunamis have rocked many a strong heart in the past days. It’s been a couple of days since nature unleashed its forces in Japan, and the impact may have lessened for some in other parts of the world. Sad to say, it does happen that after the initial shock, people who are safe may tend to “forget” and live their lives as usual. Understandable, but it does not have to be that way.

More than 2,000 people have died or are missing since the first earthquake struck. Countless people have been forced away from their homes. Even more people do not have things that we take for granted. Many are also at risk of exposure to radiation. Governments, companies and individuals from all over the world have been joining together in a massive relief effort- also globally recognized corporations in Japan itself such as Sony, Toyota and Ajinomoto have been hugely generous- but more is needed.

Here at Charities Blog, we challenge everyone to go one step further and help out in any way you can. There are many ways by which you can extend a helping hand to those who have been affected by the Japan earthquakes and tsunamis, and we would like to do our part as well. Below is a widget, courtesy of Chipin.com, which you can use to send your donations to those in need.

Chipin is a reputable widget provider that offers its services for free. Rest assured that whatever you give will go to the people who can use your help the most. Let’s not forget those who are still suffering and share whatever we can.

Everybody has a charity that they would like to sponsor. You might want to get more people to donate to your local cancer organization or to your disaster relief efforts. There are hundreds and thousands of people who need help everyday.

While the most effective tool for most is still the face to face request for help, it makes sense to let technology work for you and the groups that you’d like to get help to. This is where this handy little tool comes in called ChipIn.

ChipIn is a flash application that you can add to your website or blog. This widget allows visitors to your site see what charity you sponsor. From your site, they can donate to your cause using Papypal or a major credit card. All of you will be able to see how much progress you’ve made towards meeting your goal. The best part, it is purely voluntary for everyone – no pressure.

ChipIn definitely works with myspace, Blogger, Xanga, typepad, wordpress, Google and netvibes. So don’t hesitate and get your blog – and social network earning for your favorite cause.
