Relief Donations for Sichuan Earthquake

A major earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale struck Sichuan Province on the afternoon of 12th May 2008, and affected many areas of Sichuan and neighbouring provinces.

Members and staff of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China are deeply saddened by the loss of life, injuries and damage suffered in the affected parts of China. The disaster particularly shocked our members and staff in Chengdu, though we understand that they are all safe.

We recommend to our members the China Red Cross as an effective channel for donations in support of victims and disaster relief.
