Lend A Helping Hand..

If you have read the news, you would have heard about the cyclones in Myanmar and the earthquake in China Si Chuan Province which has already taken away more than 120,000 and 14,000 people respectively. I read the papers every day and cry for those victims. It pains my heart to see images of the children who died. It was a very grief news for anyone to hear about, and to see how these natural disasters have swept away the homes of thousands and killed the loved ones of many others.

Therefore, I urge anyone who read this entry to pray with me for these victims of such dreadful disasters. There are still many trapped in the ruins in Si Chuan and if the rescue teams were able to remove the ruins in time, there are still hopes for them to be saved! Same goes to Myanmar where it is heavily lacking in clean water and food and other necessities right now. More could be suffering from all sorts of diseases if there is still not enough clean water delivered to them.

Alice.K, is doing our part to raise funds by donating 50% of your purchase to the Singapore Red Cross from 17 May 08 till end of this month. For more information, visit SRC.

The Singapore Red Cross (SRC) has also received a total of S$600,000 through cash and cheque donations for the Sichuan quake victims.

The amount includes a single donation of S$300,000 by a man who had dropped off the cash at the SRC Society.

SRC has ordered S$200,000 worth of Ready—to—Eat food packs and these will be delivered to the Red Cross Society of China, directly from the supplier’s factory in Dalian.

The funds collected will also be used for relief operations, as well as reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts.

They need our help and prayers too! Pray for the victims as well as the rescue team so many could still be saved in time!

May God bless the people in China and Myanmar.
