Dear Roots & Shoots USA,Our friends in the Sichuan Province of China have been hard hit by a devastating earthquake. You have seen the images on the news and in the paper, and it can feel paralyzing to know we are so far away. To help support our friends across the world, embrace the compassion and action mission of Roots & Shoots and empower yourself to act.
For immediate assistance:
• Send money to the Red Cross Society of China, account #: 7112111482600000209, address: Jiuxianqiao Branch, bank name: CITIC Bank
• To inquire about specific needs of Sichuan NGO Disaster Relief Coalition Office, please contact Zhang Zhe (+86-10-6778-3115, zhangzhe@jgichina.org)
For rebuilding efforts:
We are collecting funds and messages of hope and sending them to the Roots & Shoots Chengdu office during the rebuilding period. They should have infrastructure in place in early June. If you are interested in contributing, please contact Zhang Zhe (information listed above).
We encourage groups to write messages in Chinese–if your group has access to a translator, please utilize them.
Thank you for reaching out and taking action in a time of crisis.
In peace and service,
Roots & Shoots USA
