赈灾倡议书:我们在行动!
北京时间2008年5月12日下午2:28,四川省汶川县发生里氏7.8级地震,包括首都北京在内的多个省市均有不同程度的震感。截止到2008年5月16日星期五,四川省里氏4级以上余震共发生121次,遇难人数估计在5万人以上,约1.5万人下落不明,其中有约2千名中小学生和老师被埋在坍塌的学校下。一时间,震区变成了人间炼狱,随时可能有生命在废墟中咽下微弱的气息。有官员称,约有一千万人被此次地震波及。中国政府、中国人民解放军以及社会各界人士正在紧张地进行救援工作,部分其他国家也正向震区提供援助。
他们需要你的帮助。
你的捐助可能是救命的饮用水、食物、药品,也可能是挡风遮雨的临时住所,和早日脱离危险、重建家园的希望。华人学生学者联谊会(CSSA)倡议大家伸出援助之手,凝聚救援力量。善款将由中国驻英使领馆统一转交震区。
24小时York CSSA捐款热线:0781 8064 188。我们忠心感谢你的爱心和你的每一份捐献!
Call for China Earthquake Donation
On the afternoon of May 12, 2008, a major earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale hit the town of Wenchuan, Szechwan province. More than 14 cities as far as the capital Beijing felt it. Until Friday, 16 May 2008, another 121 aftershocks above 4 on the Richter scale happened in Szechwan province.
More than 50,000 people were feared dead including nearly 2,000 students and teachers caught in schools that collapsed. About 15,000 people are missing, many of them are buried. Dozens of thousands of people have lost their friends, families and loved ones, and yet, they are struggling on the boarder of death! 10 million people have been affected by the quake, said by officials.The Chinese government is fighting against time to save lives in rescue and relief work. Some other countries stand ready to assist China quake victims.
They also need your help. Every penny you donate is a hope to save one more life. Your donation will be changed into treasures drinking water, food, tents and life saving medicines. Many lives are depending on these.
24 hours donation hotline: 0781 8064 188.

Three donation sites will be available on Market Square, 10.00 am - 4.00pm, Wednesday to Friday, in Goodrick College, 1.00-4.00pm, Wednesday and Friday, and in Wentworth College, 12.00-4.00pm, Thursday
