I donated 200 Sterling pounds to the international Red Cross China earthquake fund first. I then realized that I could not know where the money went...

I then further donated 3000 sterling pounds to five earthquake families, I know exactly where the money went.

Most of the victims are minorities living in remote villages.

What is the donation venue for Taiwan? I donate $100 to a Chinese Association in NJ. I did not follow up with them where the money went.

"I donated 200 Sterling pounds to the international Red Cross China earthquake fund first. I then realized that I could not know where the money went..."

You know exactly where your money didn't go to.

Donation is a scam
Donors are fakes
Victims are creation of the western media
PM Wen shedding crocodile tears is real
Earthquake is a fake
CCP stands for Cheating, Cruelty, and Piracy.

Only idiots would believe these young jerks claiming donating GBP100 GBP or USD10.

There are plenty of places to donate to Taiwan's refugees, and I have a list on my blog.

Of these, the best one is probably the Presbyterian Church, which has a long record of support for indigenous peoples in Taiwan, democracy, and human rights. As a friend noted in a comment on my blog, the KMT hates them, which is as good as a golden recommendation for almost any group.

As the first poster noted the best thing to do is simply give money or goods directly to aid groups. When i went down south last week we filled my van twice with needed cleaning supplies -- some places have stopped accepted food and clothing completely -- and gave it directly to the aid center and watched it distributed.

The government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) would like to express deep appreciation for the assistance of the international community in relief aid and efforts in response to the devastation caused by Typhoon Morakot. Morakot was Taiwan's worst natural disaster in at least 50 years, causing over $1.5 billion in damage and leaving at least 7,000 people homeless. The typhoon brought six feet of rain in three days, eight times as much rain as New York receives in the entire month of June.

The typhoon would have caused massive damage regardless of preparatory measures; however, unlike China's Sichuan earthquake or Taiwan's 9/21 Earthquake in 1999, a typhoon is inherently more difficult to evaluate and respond to rapidly. As noted by the head of Taiwan's relief operation Mao Chi-kuo, earthquake damages are far easier to assess as their destruction occurs within a short amount of time. The area hit by Typhoon Morakot was spread over expansive mountainous regions, and the immediate strike was followed by several days of heavy rains, severely complicating the ability of helicopters and other rescue and relief efforts to break through.

The top priority in relief efforts is evacuating victims from disaster areas. As of August 18th, helicopters have rescued 8,800 people from remote mountain regions and have delivered over 30,000 tons of supplies. Still, more must be done to adequately respond to a crisis of such scope; the government is committed to increasing the speed of relief efforts and providing post-disaster help to victims and survivors. This includes housing and daily living subsidies as well as the “8/8 Temporary Employment Project,” a program with the dual goal of enabling typhoon victims to work to clean their communities while earning an income.

In dealing with an issue of such large scale, however, Taiwan cannot work alone. We are sincerely grateful to the multitude of nations and international organizations that have already reached out in aid. In such difficult circumstances feelings of fear, anger, and frustration are inevitable. The government hopes that, together with the assistance of the international community, significant progress can be made in providing relief to those affected.
