Friends in Egypt

[lizbud]

What the heck is going on over in Asia & Northern Africa and now Jordan?
Rioting and revolution in a lot of Arab countries. I believe we are seeing
History in the making in these parts of the world. I wish I understood more
of the background of these governments and their leaders.

I received this information today:

Dear Friends, many of you have asked how they can be of help. Animal rescue organizations in Egypt have a difficult time to collect donations from within Egypt at the moment. This is due to banks not working, a mainly cash based system and people having other concerns at the moment. Thousands of pets are suffering in pet shops that are closed. Horses and camels were used and got injured during demonstrations in Tahrir SQ yesterday. Organizations are asking for help from international donators. ESMA www.esmaegypt.org is feeding the animals in Giza zoo as nobody else is attending to them. Also SPARE and EMRO www.emaurescue.org are respectable organizations that need help. Brooke Hospital takes care of horses and donkeys. I am sure there are others, but these are the ones that I know and trust. Please spread the word!
