Dear fellow Chinese,
This is a letter from several Chinese students studying in the U.S.
As you have already heard, East and South China have been suffering from severe weather conditions since mid January. 80 million people are affected, about 150,000 houses collapsed, power lines are damaged, and many provinces and cities do not have electricity supply… As overseas Chinese, we might not be able to offer direct aids, but there are many alternative things we can do, as long as we care for our home country and her people.
We have started an initiative called “Warm Heart” and have built a group called "Snow Storm in China" on Facebook as a preliminary site to update news and information about the snowstorms and seek ways of donations. Now, you are invited to join us and do the following things:
1. Let the world know about this!
Please forward the message to your friends, your community or group email lists, post this message on your own blog, post it on the BBS forums you go to. Try to let everybody around you know, no matter they are Chinese or not.
2. Join the "Snow Storm in China" group on Facebook
Please click here (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7861447275) or go to Facebook.com, log in your account (sign up if you don't have one), go to 'Groups' in the navigation menu on the left and search for "Snow Storm in China". In-depth news articles and the donation information are posted on the group homepage.
3. Donate
Yes, this is the most effective way to offer our help, given that we are living overseas. Unfortunately, we have not found any trustworthy charities in the States which receive donation for the Snowstorm victims in China. However, we do provide a list of organizations in China including:
World Vision Hong Kong (https://www.worldvision.org.hk/donation/i-donation.asp?type=otherdonation&ID=160&lang=e),
UNICEF HK (http://www.unicef.org.hk/docs/new/c/list_detail.php?id=225),
Red Cross HK (https://www.redcross.org.hk/donation/user_donation.asp?langId=2),
Oxfam (https://www.oxfam.org.hk/public/donate/donate?donate_id=37),
Red Cross China (http://www.redcross.org.cn/wsjz/wsjz.asp),
CFPA (http://www.fupin.org.cn/en/donate/donation-way.asp).
As an example, to donate to World Vision in Hong Kong online - go to this page (https://www.worldvision.org.hk/donation/i-donation.asp?type=otherdonation&ID=160&lang=e) for online donation using credit card. Select at least the first item "China Snowstorm Appeal", enter the amount of donation (in HK Dollars), and click "OK" on the bottom then click "Continue" to enter personal information. Make sure you enter "Warm Heart Group" in the Institution area, so that we might be able to track the effectiveness of our action. Then select your language to pay by credit card. Please note that usually there will be a charge of 1% - 3% for international transactions depending on your credit card companies.
To make it clear, we don’t have any personal connections with any of the charity organizations. We will keep searching for other charities and keep you posted on this.
Again, as students living far far away from home, our input might not be substantial enough, but there are no excuses for us to stay out of troubles on our homeland. We shall never give up in front of any difficulties, because love is what makes us strong.
May you have any inquiries, please email us at snowstormchina@gmail.com or leave your message on the Facebook group.

[暖心贴] 为中国雪灾捐款倡议书
亲爱的祖国同胞们，
这是一封来自几名北美留学生的信。
大家都知道，今年一月中旬以来，中国的东部和南部遭受大面积冰雪严寒的侵袭，近八千万 人的生活受到影响，房屋倒塌十五万余间，道路受阻，断水断电，粮食供应紧张……祖国面临极大的困难。身在海外的我们也许不能提供最直接的帮助，但是，这不应该成为我们袖手旁观的借口。我们可以做的事还有很多，只要我们有热血和善心。
为组织海外华人援助国内的灾民，我们发起了名叫“暖心贴”的活动并在Facebook上成立了"Snow Storm in China"小组，希望把这里作为一个平台，集结团体力量，更新客观、及时、全面的灾情信息，并倡导为灾民募捐的行动。目前该小组成员数量已经超过2500，成员来自世界各地。现在，我们诚恳地请求您加入我们，并做以下几件事：
1。尽量让所有人知道这次活动
请转发这封邮件给你认识的人和你参加的email list，在你自己的blog里转贴这条信息，在各大BBS上转贴。尽量让更多的人知道，不管是哪个国家的人。
2。在Facebook上加入"Snow Storm in China"小组
请点击这里 (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7861447275) 加入小组，如果链接不管用，请到Facebook.com 登陆你的帐号（或申请一个）然后在Groups里搜索"Snow Storm in China"。 更多的灾情信息和募捐方式会在这里公布。
3。捐款
目前来讲，捐款是身在国外的我们能提供的最有效的帮助。遗憾的是，我们没有找到任何美国当地的有信誉保障的慈善团体为此次中国雪灾募捐。但是事情迫在眉睫，在此，我们给大家提供包括
香港世界宣明会(https://www.worldvision.org.hk/donation/i-donation.asp?type=otherdonation&ID=160&lang=e)，
联合国儿童基金会(http://www.unicef.org.hk/docs/new/c/list_detail.php?id=225)，
香港红十字会(https://www.redcross.org.hk/donation/user_donation.asp?langId=2)，
乐施会(https://www.oxfam.org.hk/public/donate/donate?donate_id=37)，
中国红十字会(http://www.redcross.org.cn/wsjz/wsjz.asp)，
中国扶贫基金会(http://www.fupin.org.cn/en/donate/donation-way.asp)
几个中国的机构来向内地捐款，其中大多数机构都提供在线信用卡捐赠的方式。
在此说明：我们和任何慈善机构没都有私人联系。如果发现更有好的捐款渠道，我们会第一时间告知大家。
以世界宣明会为例，捐款请点击这里（https://www.worldvision.org.hk/donation/i-donation.asp?type=otherdonation&ID=160&lang=e ）进入线上信用卡捐款页面，至少选中第一项"中国雪灾援助"并输入捐款金额（单位：港币），点击页面底端的"确定"，再电击"继续"，输入个人信息，请在"团体名称"一项中填写"暖心贴", 以便事后我们对此次倡议活动的影响力做出评估。然后进入相应语言的页面进行信用卡付款。国际支付通常会根据各公司的规定收取约1%到3%的费用。
也许我们离得太远力量有限，但这不能阻止我们关心和帮助家乡的人们。你我的一块钱就可能让一个灾民过上暖和的一夜，吃上一顿热饭。在这个时代里我们的生活已然艰辛，现在又面临着新的困难，但我们从不在困难面前说放弃。 拳拳赤子之心，团结起来，让我们更坚强！
对本次倡议活动有任何问题，欢迎您发邮件到snowstormchina@gmail.com，或直接在Facebook留言。我们会尽快回复。
