As some of you may have already known that Sichuan province of China has been hit hard by a disastrous earthquake, which was reported 7.8-magnitude (USGS reported as 7.9 magnitudes). The quake has claimed 15,000 lives (NPR reported this morning) and left thousands wounded and homeless. This is really a BIG quake because it originated in Sichuan (midwest of China) but people could feel it as far as in Beijing (northeast of China), thousands of miles away.

We bring this to your attention and hope we can do something for those people who are suffering. If you would like to donate, here are some links for you:
