After Cyclone Sidr - My View from Dhaka

After a devastating cyclone which has left over 3,000 dead - what is often left out is how quick many parts of Bangladesh has recovered. Dhaka City was a city that had trees blocking roads, power lines collapsed, and many low income houses were blown apart. Yet, people in this city have slowly rebuilt.

But that's just the good news. The bad news is there are a lot of people still suffering and they need your help. I am in Bangladesh working on my own project to help the poor

If you want to make a donation, consider the following places:

The Red Cross
http://www.redcross.org

CARE International.
http://www.care.org

Muslim Aid
http://www.muslimaid.org

World Vision
http://www.worldvision.org

A few of these are secular charities, but aid will be given to all regardless of religious affiliation.

It seems that fishermen particularly suffer badly from these seasonal disasters. Sidr, Nargis and Aila appear to be the worst in recent years and its happening every year.

[UnculturedProject]

VERY true Culvave - very true :(

[CULAVE]

UnculturedProject- Thankyou, and thankyou for posting this. May I ask are you are a reporter?

[UnculturedProject]

Not really - though I do have my account set as "reporter" on YouTube. That may not count though :)

[CULAVE]

UnculturedProject- Thanks. The reason I ask is because you seem professional. Is it something you would like to pursue?

I had hoped to be a reporter but it didn't quite work out.

By the way, do you know has Cyclone Aila got as far inland as Sidr? Although many are feared missing, it has received very little coverage here (compared to Sidr)

[UnculturedProject]

I'm open to all possibilities - but right now, I'd like to keep working on this project if I can. Also, you should check my video where I talk about Cyclone Aila. I also have footage where I go and help on my second channel (TheStudent).

UnculturedProject- Ive just seen these comments. Quite poignant now that we know the massive scale of Nargis.
