The United States has a program by which you can text SWAT to 20222 to donate $5 for the humanitarian crisis in Pakistan.
It’ll result in a charge on your cell phone bill. Deductible, I assume. :)
Here’s a link which explains the program, and has a video of Sec. Clinton announcing the program and what other things the United States is doing to help.
Edit: the money goes to “help the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees provide tents, clothing, food, and medicine to hundreds of thousands of affected people”
Also, note what she talks about in terms of the cell phone information broadcast system at 5 min or so. Sounds interesting…will be more interesting after we can see how it gets implemented.
