Chinese Red Cross Society’s Earthquake response
13th May 2008
The International Federation Red Cross (Federation) is planning to launch a multi-million dollar appeal to support the Chinese Red Cross Society’s Earthquake response for victims of the Chengdu disaster.
Those interested to support this effort can either make contributions directly to the Chinese Red Cross Society, or to the Federation’s Beijing office (contact Carl Naucler: +86-10-6532-7162). For corporations wishing to make contributions from their home offices in the U.S. to a registered 501C charity, the American Red Cross will be facilitating collection of donations which will be provided towards this International Appeal, in support of the Chinese Red Cross efforts. For more information on how to contribute directly via the American Red Cross HQ in Washington D.C., please contact their Regional Representative for Asia at +91-99-7180-0406, or e-mail rayyis@gmail.com.
Thanks to Ramsey A. Rayyis, senior field representative at the American Red Cross for passing along this valuable information.
If your firm is contributing to the relief effort, please let us know by posting about here.
