Thanks for the Generous Donations!

Last week, I started a donation drive for the Sichuan earthquake relief. During the seven days from May 15 to May 22, a total of $215 donation was made to the effort by readers from countries/regions as far as Greece and Hong Kong. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank those who made the generous donation to the people whose life have been tremendously affected the devastating earthquake. I can’t express enough my gratefulness to the donors.

As I mentioned in the post soliciting donation, I will match 1:1 to each dollar donated. Therefore, the total money raised in the fundraising is $430, which will be the amount to be donated to the earthquake relief fund. Originally, I planed to send the money to the Consulate General in New York. Now I will make a slight change of the plan because early last week my employer emailed me that company, together with the American Red Cross, just launched a company-wide fundraising for the victims of the earthquake. And my employer also promises a 100% match. Therefore, to maximize the effort, I decided to send the donations I collected to my employer to get another $430, making the total $860! After I get the receipt, I will contact each donor and provide them with a copy of the receipt so they know their money goes to the place where it’s needed the most.

Thanks again for the generous donations!
