Sichuan Earthquake
At 2:28pm, May 12, 2008, the Wenchuan County of Sichuan province in China was hit by the 7.9 magnitude earthquake. It affected 8 neighboring provinces: Sichuan, Shanxi, Gansu, Chongqing, Yunnan, Shanxi, Guizhou, and Hubei. These regions have all received extensive damage. Many schools, houses, factories have collapsed, and many main roadways have been blocked. Thousands have died and many are still reported missing. The total population of one particular county in Wenchuan province was over 12,000, but only 3,000 people have survived. The region has been devastated by the earthquake, with children losing their parents, parents losing their beloved children and relatives, and citizens seeing their fellow neighbors lost to the earthquake. Disaster victims are suffering from thirst, hunger, and many have been displaced from their homes.
In partnership with the Red Cross Society of China, CCHC & Herald International will collect donations to help the victims of this earthquake.
Neither Herald Intenational** , CCHC nor the Red Cross Society of China will charge any administrative fees so that 100% of the funds will be directed toward relief work. The Director of CCHC in Los Angles, Rev. David Lee, will lead the LA team to visit the damaged areas. They will give out food, water and tents for emergency use. They will also help to rebuild schools and homes. We are urging everyone to support these disaster victims.
