Calls for Support of Sichuan Earthquake Relief Effort

The 512 earthquake has caused massive damages in Sichuan, China. The past few days have been hard for most of us watching the heartbreaking coverage on TV and the images on the Internet, particularly when so many of the victims are children.

Oversea Chinese, in the Bay area as well as across the country, are reaching out for the relief of the victims. As a co-organizer of the Northern California China 512 Earthquake Relief Alliance, NACSA has decided to contribute $2000 to the relief effort. NACSA is asking for your help to support the effort. To donate, please use the following two channels run by the Bay Area Chinese communities.

1. Northern California China 512 Earthquake Relief (URL: http://www.ncc512.org/)

2. 2008 Sichuan Earthquake Relief Committee by Oversea Chinese (URL: http://tsinghuafoundation.org/)

There will be a charity concert to be held on May 15, Saturday. See the announcement below.

As with any relief effort, time is of the essence. So please make your donation or purchase the tickets to the concert today.

We appreciate your support.
