YOU can help the victims of 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in two simple ways.

1. Make a donation.

The simplest and most direct way to help. Make sure you are making donation to reputable organizations. I recommend American Red Cross or Japanese Red Cross Society.

My friend, James @ FriedBeef.com is matching your donation up to USD500. Remember to email proof of donation to him!

2. Spread the word

Got a website/blog? Simply add a Hello Bar (a simple notification bar on the top of your website) to drive awareness for the Japan earthquake and promote donations.

Here is the JavaScript code you can simply copy & paste into your website to add the notification bar.

More information on applying the hellobar at Mashable.

Please share the donation pages and this article on Facebook and Twitter.

I have donated $25 for 25 trees. How about you?

I made the first batch of charity donations of the year 2009. The donations are given to Tzu Chi, World Vision, and Agape Counseling Centre. RM500 each.

It has become my habit to make donations every two or three months. I believe that “the more you give the more you will get”.

I wanted to be an organ donor for a long time since my elder brother showed me the green donor card to me a few years back.

I stumbled upon the website of National Transplant Resource Centre (Malaysia). The web design is surprisingly nice, much better than other government websites.

Be an organ donor

I downloaded and printed the organ donor form from the website, filled in, and faxed it back to Notional Transplant Resource Centre.

Done. I am now an organ donor. (I am expecting to receive a green donor card..)

Next, let your family know that you are an organ donor. Ask them to register too!

My two cents

There are many people who are still against organ donation and believe that we should keep the body intact.

I disagree. The body is left with only bones in a few months after burial. Why don’t we do a good deed and save others’ lives, at the end of our lives?

Kiva is the world’s first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world.

Kiva helps people to fish rather than giving them the fish. The loaner do NOT get any interest but the biggest profit is that you changed a life by micro-lending.

I joined Kiva since 2007 but never been an active loaner before Oct 2008. Shame on me!

Blog Action Day suggested that bloggers donate their earning of the day for charity. I made 4 Kiva loans USD$25 each. Check out my lender page.

Kiva Piggy bank

Beside making a couple of loans, I also bought the Kiva piggy bank from the Kiva Store. The piggybank is cute, green in color, plastic. I will feed it with coins as the fund to lend on Kiva.

Join Kiva now and become a kind loaner. If you are Malaysians, please join the Kiva Malaysia Community.
