Educators, academics, researchers: what can be done when natural disasters occur?

In our inter-connected world the answer is "Quite a lot". The reaction of the Peru Earthquake Aid Committee has been to respond by holding fund-raising events and - prompted by the disaster & to communicate with the wider public - to set up websites:
 * Online://www.peruearthquake.org.uk (shortly available - general). This provides a link and/or a window to an opentext site:
 * http://peruearthquake.wikia.com (education) which in turn links through to:
 * http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Education_Network (design of diaspora+earthquake zone collaborative development). These have produced the "Just Write for Peru" campaign. The new opentext Journal of Peruvian Studies will provide - inter alia - a home for contributed articles:
 * http://academia.wikia.com/wiki/Journal_of_Peruvian_Studies.
