Flood Relief
Most of you have probably heard or read about the flooding in southern Mexico, in the states of Tabasco and Chiapas. Thousands have been evacuated, but many will be left homeless. It's really terrible.
In the event that any of you wish to donate to relief efforts, you can do so easily online through the Red Cross, but the above banner, lifted from the Tabasco state web site, indicates that if you donate to one of the accounts run by either Banamex or Banorte, the bank will match your donation.
I am not sure if those of us in Mexico can take advantage of this offer by donating in cash in the local branches of these banks. That would be a lot easier than having to do a wire transfer to the accounts. I will look into it though and report back here in the comments of this entry. That is, unless any of the readers in Mexico happen to know one way or another and would care to enter a comment letting us know.
