<P>I just watched a video of dozens of desperate people clinging to
the outside of a massive US airplane while it took off, only for
some to fall to their death on the rooftops below. All to escape the
Taliban. </P>
<P>But <STRONG>I know we have to do something to help</STRONG>.</P>
<P>Experts in the region say that <STRONG>a few charities are
actually getting desperate families money, safe transport and legal
help </STRONG>with asylum claims. But they're <STRONG>not the big
names</STRONG> everyone knows and lots of NGOs are too scared to
support them.</P>
<P>Our community is different. <STRONG>Thousands of donations right
now from us could go directly to the on-the-ground groups
funnelling real assistance in the middle of this
tragedy</STRONG> -- and we don't have to wait for paperwork or
approvals to do it. If we all chip in now -- we could save
lives:</P>

<P>Politicians can debate who is at fault for the disaster of
Afghanistan until they are blue in the face.</P>
<P>But in the meantime, thousands of desperate people are trying to
escape the Taliban -- many of whom worked for the US, UK, Canadian,
and other governments in Afghanistan, at great risk to themselves
and their family, hoping to make their country a better, safer
place.</P>
<P>Now governments are scrambling to evacuate their own personnel,
while many potential refugees are left desperately flooding the
Kabul airport and rushing into planes. <STRONG>A few charities are
helping these people, including helping to ensure that the lucky few
who make it have everything they need when they land in their new
foreign homes. </STRONG></P>
<P>This is the kind of news that can make us feel impotent. But if
enough of us pull together now, we can give some hope to the people
who need it most -- chip in what you can, everything will go to
groups working with those in need:</P>
