I forgot to mention this last week. The Moroccan government has donated $500,000 to the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. To help put this in perspective, consider that 20% of Moroccans get by on less than a dollar per day. More than 90 countries have offered help, though I can’t for the life of me find a complete list anywhere.
