I'm bringing this up only because I just found out about Mines Awareness Trust, a group dedicated to removing land mines from war-torn countries. At first, I thought of Minesweeper, but then... then I remembered that scene from Charlie Wilsons War, the one where people in tents in the desert are talking about kids who've had their bodies blown apart by "Toy Mines."
Now this isn't a "DONATE NAO!" thread, but more of a divining rod to see what charities are out there, how they could be better run or organized and where the relief money should go - including administrative costs with those running the charity and those transporting the money or goods.
