主题：【原创】今天对全系老美老中教授,教职人员和研究生发起了捐款请求 -- 西行的风

看了救援人员和一堆昏迷(?死亡)孩子的照片,初为人父的我眼泪就流了下来,而后稍微冷静后,觉得自己除了捐款外,还应该作些什么,也能作些什么.一个人的力量有限,但发动周围的人们这个力量就可观了.在美国,我们能够为祖国做的更多的只有捐款了.清楚这个思路后,我觉得有必要发出自己的声音,中国请求帮助的声音.这一刻,我相信没有国界的分别,我的美国教授,同学,系里的教职人员,都是孩子的父母亲,是妻子或者丈夫,是老人的儿女.我相信他们不会反感来自中国的声音,他们也是human being,能够理解,同情和帮助来自异国的悲伤.于是就有了下面这封呼吁信,不是乞求,无关国界,

Donation for China earthquake victims

Dear All,

Only one day ago there was 7.9-magnitude earthquake in central China.The death of people now has exceeded 12,000 today. More than 25,000 people were trapped under rubble, including many children in schools. They really need help right now.

You can read news from CNN and the following link:

As a Chinese graduate student in Department of Chemistry, I would like to ask help from you for my country. We are human beings. This is a small world and we can help each other. So please do something for helping them.

There are two ways to donate money to these victims,

Online:

Canada Red Cross online donation

mercy organization

Please specify for China Earthquake.

Phone:

American Red Cross phone donation

1-800-435-7669

Please specify for China Earthquake.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

因为面向对象主要是美国同学,教职员工和教授,很遗憾,我发现的中国红十字会的捐款方式并不合适,所以选了加拿大和MERCY组织,信用卡付款非常方便,还有美国红十字会的电话捐款(主要为一些老教授考虑).

到目前为止,我所知道的有很多人已经在线捐款,包括我熟悉的几个美国同学,教授,教职员工,感谢他们.另外也有很多人有明确提出意向.我很高兴,但看到灾区的儿童和悲伤的父母,我深深体会生命有时就是那么脆弱,他们的生活将会多么艰难.我所做的是在是微不足道.

天佑中华,自助者天恒助之.我坚信我们能在美国能为同胞作些什么.

P.S. 请在呼吁前最好礼貌的询问系里的秘书,因为是他们帮助你转发到全系.这样做之前最好先得到他们的同意.
