呼吁美国的同事、学生们通过红十字会给中国地震灾区捐款的信

5/13/08

Please donate money to Red Cross and help send aid to the victims of
recent earthquake in Sichuan, China.

A magnitude-7.9 earthquake hit eastern Sichuan Province, China on May
12, 2008. Towns near the epicenter have been effectively flattened,
with tremors felt as far away as Thailand and Beijing. Transportation
and communication infrastructure have been seriously damaged,
hampering the rescue efforts. Preliminary death tolls have reached 12
400, with tens of thousands still missing.

We hope that you, your colleagues, and your friends can contribute to
ongoing disaster relief efforts.

To donate:
1. Contact the Canadian Red Cross by phone at 1-800-418-1111
2. Donate online at the Canadian Red Cross website (http://www.redcross.ca).

To make an online donation, please select the "donate online" button
or go to the following website

Earthquake" option under 'Fund Designation'. Please be sure to

tax deduction purposes.

We thank you in advance on behalf of our country-mates.
