Chengdu Update

Posted By Samuel Richard on May 14th, 2008
So, it turns out that Chengdu – the city in China nearest the epicenter of the 7.9 magnitude earthquake this week – is a Sister City of Phoenix. Crazy.

The City of Phoenix has set up a fund for relief, and people can make donations at any Wells Fargo branch. You can also call the Sister Cities Office at 602-534-3751.

Update #1: Philanthropy 2173 just posted updated numbers on Disaster Aid. Check it out.

Update #2: New technology for mobile solar power. Could help with Disaster Relief.

Update #3: Wells Fargo waiving fees for remittance to China.

Thanks for your concern.

Cheers,
Sam

Channel 12 featured this last night (not the earthquake part). Pretty neat that Phoenicians are gathering resources here to help our friends on the other side of the world.

Thanks for the info, Sam.

The big thing was the 7.9 earthquake, but there have been 50+ aftershocks to the main ‘quake. Let’s hope that aid can get to them efficiently!
