		<description>Hey Hemant!

Thanks for the recognition and words of appreciation.

I&#039;ll have you know that the Red Cross is a wonderful organization for atheists and Humanists to donate their resources to.  In the direct aftermath of Katrina, I met hundreds of Red Cross volunteers from all over who stayed at the CB Base in Gulfport.  Truly great people.  

I&#039;ve always donated blood and highly recommend that practice to those of your readers who are able.  

You might also want to check out www.humanistcharities.com and try to get more support for the website and their efforts as well.

Still, I find that simple promoting and participating in grassroots meet ups along with consistent local charitable/volunteer community events is the best way to show a real sense of personal morality and ethics.  

You really don&#039;t have to believe in an invisible magic being beyond space/time to be a good person and help out.

Anyway, thanks again for the kind words and keep up the great work that you do here.
