I just read that The World Vision Organization now needs people to give blood!!! Especially AB blood type!!

That fact and the details are not on their website. I got it from the local PTT website (a huge, local equivalent to Forumosa), so if interested, for details I think you can just contact them directly and ask about the locations. http://www.worldvision.org.tw/

Absolutely. A lot of efforts are slowed down in Kaohsiung due to a lack of transportation for both goods and volunteers. We will be using our truck to haul supplies to Cishian tomorrow. We still need more vehicles to help. If anyone in the Kaohsiung area is keen to use their vehicles to transport supplies and or volunteers from the city to neighboring affected areas this weekend, contact me.
