Hey Guys

Most of you have already heard about the recent disaster in China--Earthquake 7.9 on Richter hit Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province on May 12th.

As of May 14th, the death toll climbs to 14,866. There are a lot more are buried or missing.
Many of the dead or injured are school kids, who were having classes when the catastrophe hit.

Here is a related article from NY times:

Since the major highways connected to Wenchan were severely destroyed, it made the rescue even harder.

However, we are happy to see that Chinese Government have been sending tens of thousands of troops to disaster ares to evacuate the victims. And hundreds of parachute-soldiers were sent to help them out.

Now, we are calling for donations to Sichuan Earthquake Relief.
Here are some direct and easy ways you can help out:
1) American Red Cross:
