Sino-Anglo Cultural Exchange Association
China Earthquake Relief Fund
Sino-Anglo Cultural Exchange Association launches an emergency appeal to assist thousands of people affected by a major earthquake that struck China on 12th May.
Tens of thousands of people have been killed or injured, many more have lost their
homes and the death toll continues to rise.
The epicentre of the revised 8.0 (from 7.9) magnitude quake was Wenchuan County in Sichuan Province,
with another seven provinces affected. Tremors were felt as far away as the capital Beijing.
A number of heavily populated areas have been badly hit. In the town of Beichuan,
80 per cent of buildings are reported to have collapsed, including several schools,
burying children and teachers under piles of rubble. The nearby town of Mianzhu,
which has a population of 60,000, was also seriously affected.
More than 40,000 people were killed or buried under rubble after the quake, the deadliest in China in three decades.
We would ask you to consider making a donation to alleviate immediate hardship and suffering of the thousands of people whose lives have been devastated by the earthquake.
The situation in China is serious, please act NOW, Thank you.
