The owners of this shop kindly asked us if we could include this informative poster on our website. If you’re near to the University Centre on campus, please drop by and take a look. If you get a chance to try it out, please let The Birmingham University Chinese Society know of your experience by emailing us or leaving a message on the chat board on the right.
Many of you have been asking how to give donations for the China earthquake. The University of Birmingham Chinese society are sending this appeal to everyone within our reach - please donate to help the Red Cross provide relief and longer term aid. Spread the word - it’s easier to help than you think.
Roads and communication lines have been severely disrupted, and heavy rains are forecast, which will further complicate rescue efforts.
Soon after the earthquake struck, volunteers from the Red Cross Society of China were on the ground distributing emergency relief to the survivors. But as the situation continues to unfold, more help is urgently needed to prevent further loss of life.
People need food, clean water and shelter to help them survive the immediate aftermath of the quake.
The Red Cross is working around the clock to reach those most in need.
The entire committee at Chisoc hope that you had fun at Alton Towers. The trip went extremely smoothly - nobody was left behind, nobody (as far as we know) puked from the dizzy rides, the weather was reasonable, considering the forecast was looking grim. We got to see sun, wind, snow, rain, then sun again; all in the same day!
Enjoy these photos (Mike’s). Feel free to send any you want to show off!
