China Sichuan Earthquake (50,000+ estimated death toll) - They need our help!

[dkr]

(mods, please do not remove this thread. This is for a great cause and deserves this type of exposure. Thank you.)

With 28,881 Dead, 198,347 Injured, and 5 Million Homeless, it is Your Responsibility to Help!​

Edit June 08th - Nearly 70,000 Dead. We need to do something..

The Sichuan Earthquake, which occurred last Monday the 12th, claimed tens of thousands of innocent lives and left thousands of children as orphans. There are still many trapped, awaiting rescue efforts, and even more injured, waiting for medical attention.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that I could have done something to help. I am not going to let this opportunity drift away. I need your help.

How YOU Can Help
As some of you know, I am a web entrepreneur and run multiple businesses under Kinkarso Tech Ltd. I would like to create a website to help spread the word, and to raise funds to help these people. I have developed sources to extract the latest information directly from inside China. I hope we can really make a difference and save lives in the process.

Of course, I realize that this definitely can not become reality if done by an individual. That is why I am looking for your help. In order to make this project a success, I am looking for...

All contributors to this project will receive credit for their work (if wanted). Being 99% certain I will gain media support for this project, here is your chance to not only to save lives, but to also advance your business.

Admirable, and every little helps.

I was in Shangri-La, Yunnan province China when the first earthquake struck we saw evidence on our return to Lijiang with mudslides etc on our roads down the mountains however Yunnan was lucky and altough adjacent to Sichuan there was limited effect.

We watched local tv as the Chinese went in to action and despite what you may hear or read they were incredibly quick and efficient under the most extreme circumstances.

Huge donations have been made by the local and international community and we left a few renminbi with our local friends to donate as required.

A devastating catastrophe but these resilient people will come through it.

If any of you ever get the chance to get over that part of the world do so, It is amazing.

Just to update everyone as to how far we have actually gotten with this project:

We were able to partner with the SD38 school board (all 48 schools), the City of Richmond, the police in Richmond, as well as the firefighters to work on a fund-raising project also for this cause. We are looking to organize a youth effort to go out into the community and fund raise in malls, airport, and other public areas.

As for the website, we have partnered with MercyCorps to be able to fund raise for this cause right away (it will be set up by tomorrow). We have already established contacts with high-end people all around the world to help us promote this project. Dozens of people are already helping with the website itself, including people from New York, Australia, India, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and more.

I do not want to reveal the website URL just yet; not until the donations system has already been sent up. Keep an eye out, and possibly donate when you can, because "your spare change could be the change of someone's life" .

Thank you,
Donny

Thanks everyone, although I can't really take much credit. I was not the person who designed the site. I was not the person who coded the pages. I wasn't the one who coded the blog. I wasn't the one who programmed the site. Heck, even some of the content on the site isn't by me. This is a community effort by people who care. Please thank the 100+ people who have dedicated their time into making this project possible.

You're my idol Donny.

Please please please take that back .

Thank You,
Donny

Thank you everyone. The website is now live at http://www.gracefulyouth.org.

Just wanted to update everyone.

Unfortunately for the first couple of days of the launch of the GracefulYouth.org website, the wrong tracking code was placed on the site that accepted donations. This was fixed right after the problem was found.

However, at this point in time, the confirmed amount of donations that we have raised is currently at $1,330.

But we're not finished yet! We partnered with Boston Pizza to host a local pizza party, with an estimated guest list of around 300 people - to fund raise also for this cause. This will happen on June 18th.

Looks like we're finally getting somewhere!

Good idea!

My mother was actually visiting China when the Earthquake took place... Got me a bit scared, but everything was fine, later she told that she saw nothing of the catastrophe, because government forces weren't letting anybody anywhere near, even though she was in the Sichuan...
