The Bookworm is now collecting emergency donations for victims of the
Sichuan earthquake.

The Bookworm in Chengdu has become a focal point for assisting groups
currently providing on the ground emergency support for those in
Sichuan affected by the earthquake.

The tragedy of the earthquake has cost many lives, but there is a
concern that unless we get urgently needed supplies to the survivors
of the quake, more people will lose their lives from exposure,
starvation, and lack of medical treatment.

The Chinese Red Cross are currently setting up operations in affected
areas. In the meantime, smaller groups are doing what they can to
provide food, water, shelter and medicines.

The Bookworm is assisting these groups, until the larger organisations
are able to provide support. Here in Suzhou, from now until the night
of the 17th, as advised by the Chinese Red Cross, we're collecting
emergency donations of:

TENTS
DRIED/PACKAGED FOOD
PRACTICAL CLOTHES
QUILTS
EMERGENCY BLANKETS
MONEY FOR WATER AND MEDICINE

Our friends at DHL will ship all collected donations to The Bookworm
Chengdu on Saturday 17th May.

Please drop off all donations by
4pm on SATURDAY 17th MAY.
For more information call Rebecca on 15995472835
