Wenchuan Earthquake Appeal Concludes
Dear Friends,
Today we are closing the Brick 7 Wenchuan Earthquake Appeal and will no longer be taking general donations for this terrible disaster. The emergency phase has been completed and now begins the long and difficult task of reconstruction. There will inevitably be projects related to this phase in the future, but they will be considered as distinct “Bricks” Already one is in the planning stage “Brick 8” and we imagine there will be more in the months ahead.
Thank you for your generosity and we will be giving a full report on how the funds were assigned later in the year. In the meantime to follow how Jinde Charities is responding to the Disaster, please see http://www.chinacatholic.org/english/more.asp?ttt=6 for details.
As of today, 10th June, the donations stand as €71,313.31 of which €61,795.85, have already been transferred to Jinde Charities. There are some sums still to arrive in our accounts, and once they have done so the remainder will be transferred also. Thank you for your generosity to this appeal, and please remember the ongoing plight of the people of Sichuan in your prayers.
