The Bookworm are co-ordinating our efforts to help the people of Sichuan during this difficult time. The Bookworm Chengdu has become a focal point in assisting those groups currently providing on the ground support for those in Sichuan affected by the tragedy.

The Bookworm are assisting these groups, until the larger organisations are able to provide support.

Hope you guys keep up the good work. You have my full support.
help coming soon..... i pray for these people....
Just in case anyone is interested, there's an upcoming webinar, sponsored by the US Department of Commerce, on the sustainable rebuilding of Sichuan's schools. It should be an interesting perspective. http://www.buyusa.gov/asianow/chinaearthquakerelief.html.
