The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has launched an emergency appeal for its
11 charity members working in Liberia.
The charities involved in the Liberia Crisis
Appeal are Actionaid, British Red Cross, Cafod, Care International UK, Christian
Aid, Concern, Merlin, Oxfam, Save the Children, Tearfund and World Vision. The appeal
runs from 12 August to 12 September 2003.

The DEC is encouraging Web site owners to place a banner advert promoting the appeal
on their Web sites and link to the DEC site. In return the umbrella body will report
back to participating Web site owners with details of how much the appeal has raised,
as well as reminding them to take down the banner. Oddly, there is only one banner
and, at 360 x 60 pixels, that is not in a standard size.
