A massive earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale struck Sichuan province in China on Monday. Because of its magnitude and closeness to the earth’s surface, the quake released so much energy that it caused enormous loss of lives and massive destruction to a number of areas. As of 5/14/08 the death toll has exceeded 12,012 people, 7,841 are missing, 26,206 people are living in temporary shelters. Only 30 children of 900 have been rescued from the collapsed high school in Dujiangyan, Sichuan. At least 20 children were buried in the collapse of a primary school in Liangping, Chongqing.
Advocates from Kids Care Cultural Communications are asking for your kind financial donations to a special Earthquake Relief Fund being set up by Global Child Advocates, Inc. GCA will be working with the Chinese Government to ensure that your donation helps the children and families devastated by this disaster. This fund will provide direct aid to the thousands of children and families who are suffering in the wake of this disaster.
