Right now, there are many lists cropping up of where to send relief goods and donations for the Habagat 2012 victims. However, it is also the perfect time for some mercenaries to take advantage of the situation.
Personally, I would bring my goods and money to the established enterprises, like schools (all De La Salle schools in Manila, Ateneo, UP), hospitals and organizations (Red Cross, ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya, etc). Of course, donation drives may also be undertaken by villages and other groups... just don't deposit money in accounts you don't know.
Another thing why I perfer established groups is that they already have a network of contacts, and faster determine which supplies are required (be it extra medical computer equipment at UST Hospital, or clothes/food/medicine in the different evacuation shelters.
I know we all want to help, but let's not waste our help to those who are just exploiting the hardships of our fellowmen. Here is a list that one can fairly trust for donations and volunteer work.

free rice
FreeRice.com donates 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program for every correct answer. The pessimists will immediately say, "What goos is 20 grains of rice?"
For one thing, if you love proving your vocabulary is good, you won't just stop with one correct answer. And, if you don't have anything to do, is whiling away your time, escaping your work, bored, etc., it's a good site to spend time on.
Another is this: If one million people got a correct answer, then that's already twenty million grains of rice! Surely that's at least enough for a decent meal? And if a million people got twenty correct answers, then surely they've just provided a family of four about five meals. Isn't that the greatest thing when you're only just polishing your vocabulary?
