The Chinese students and scholars associations at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia and at Oklahoma Christian University in Edmond, OK and the local Chinese communities here have just started a campaign to raise money to build a safe school for children in the Wenchuan area where the quake hit hardest (many children here are now orphans). We are calling for monetary donations. Let's show our love by building a school for the children.Our target is to raise US$50,000 or more through the effort of each of YOU! If everyone contributes $25.00, it will take 2,000 people to reach our target. We have started in various states in the United States and around the world to collect funds for such an effort. In each state there is going to be a group of coordinators (You can volunteer to be one) to manage the collection of the monetary donations
