On Monday, May 12, at 2.28 p.m. Beijing time (6:28 GMT), a major earthquake, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale, jolted southwestern China's Sichuan Province. Several lower-scale earthquakes and aftershocks followed in the same area. The quake destroyed many buildings in the area, as well as infrastructure like communication towers. According to the latest reports, more than 12,000 people have died and many more have been injured or are missing. Many schools were destroyed, including one that had at least 900 students in it. As authorities reach more remote areas, these numbers are expected to rise.
Help the America Red Cross save lives!
Today, I decided to donate some of my savings to the rescue operations in China. Although, I only donated a small amount of money, I'm sure that it will go a long loo0ng way. At this moment, we are the fortunate ones in this world, why not share our blessings to other people. We should be thankful that we still have food to eat, a home to live in, and a family to be with. So please, help our brothers and sisters in China. Minimum donation amount is $10.00. It's the thought that counts right?! GO AND HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
