I am only one, but I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.

An earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale struck Jammu & Kashmir and Pakistan on October 8 2005 killing thousands of people and injuring many more. Whole villages were destroyed and the terrain and weather have made rescue operations very difficult.

Medicines, food and medicines are in short supply and severe winter is just about to set in.

The victims and survivors need aid and they need it fast. Consider donating to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund. CNN has a list of more agencies that are working in the quake affected areas. DesiPundit also has a list of agencies that could use our help.

Visit the following sites for more information on the earthquake and relief efforts:

• South Asia Quake Help
• South Asian Earthquake Relief
• Pakistan Wiki on Earthquake 10-05

Can we make a difference? I am sure we can.

Fellow bloggers please heed the Blog Quake Day call by DesiPundit.
