Will sending socks to Japan really help survivors of the recent tragedies over there? It seems that it is, despite much joking and cynical speculation to the contrary. A column in the UN Dispatch concludes, "Nothing about Socks for Japan meets my normal criteria for a good relief group. They’re small, they started in response to the current disaster, and they have no real experience in humanitarian response. But they’ve chosen a small niche, in a small geographic area, and they’re getting it right. They really seem to have it under control." (http://www.undispatch.com/lets-talk-about-socks)
