My story

On 12 May, at 14:28, an earthquake hit the Sichuan province in China – taking the lives of more than 67,183 people (as of 26 May).

- Another 23,150 people remain missing in the quake zone, 360,058 people injured (as of 26 May)

- The Chinese authorities fear that the final death toll will exceed 80,000.

- Almost 5 million people have been left homeless. Equivalent to roughly 8% of the population in the UK.

- More than 45.61 million people were affected in the deadly quake. Equivalent to roughly 75% of the population in the UK.

- In several areas a whole generation of children has been lost, as many schools collapsed.  

As a Chinese, I want and need to do something for those in Sichuan. I am organising a £10 per person donation campaign. You are welcome to donate even more.

£10 is worth: 3 pints of beer? 1.5 burgers at the pub? 4 cups of coffee?

£10 for emergency aid for those in need, and to rebuild the desolate communities, has a worth which transcends comparison.

“Better to light one small candle, than to curse the darkness.”

I have called the Red Cross to confirm that all proceeds from this site will go towards the China Earthquake Appeal.
