Details:

An 8 magnitude earthquake stuck China's central Sichuan Province May
12, 2008, causing significant civilian casualties, structural damage,
and disrupted power lines and other vital services. At least 28,881
people have died so far in Sichuan, Shan Xi, Gan Su, and Yun Nan. The
Sichuan earthquake may eventually claim as many as 50,000 lives.

No matter where we are from, no matter what color we are, no matter
what language we speak, we all feel so sad about the catastrophe. That
is because we are not different from those people who lost parents,
lovers, siblings, kids, friends and colleagues in the earthquake.
Let's do something for the victims of 5.12 Earthquake. Let's share our
love and bless with them. Let's give them a hand.

To assist China's relief efforts in areas affected by the earthquake,
various organizations in USA have organized many donation events. By
far USA government, organizations, and people have made donation worth
of more than 23 million dollars with palletized loads of food, water
containers, blankets, lanterns, etc.

We organize this event to appreciate the contribution by the people
who feel concern about the earthquake victims in China. Also we wish
more people will give a hand to the victims through this activity.

We are also calling for volunteers who wish to participate in
organizing this event. If you are available to help us, please email
owner-cuasia@columbia.edu with subject [Fundraising Volunteer] ASAP.

Thank you for your support!
