I was saddened to read of one colleague's visit to a huge shelter, 
babies everywhere, and exactly *one* breastfeeding.

Donating milk is going to become terribly important when the 
consequences of all that dirty water and lack of sanitation hit full 
force.  I wish our culture were one which would accept a phalanx of LLL 
mothers marching in to do a mass wet-nurse.

For any of you who have the desire to donate to individuals in the 
trenches rather than a cash donation to a faceless organization (which 
is still critical!), please consider contacting a La Leche League 
Leader near you.  There are LLLL's visiting shelters and setting up 
group homes and such things, and they are happy to receive travel size 
toiletries, toys for children, clothing, etc.
