Global Voices Online » China: Time to pray - 0 views

  • China: Time to pray Friday, May 16th, 2008 @ 21:42 UTC by John Kennedy
  • ‘Pray for the disaster victims, god bless China' has been the main motif on many main Chinese blogging websites as the country moves past the hundredth hour of mourning, fund-raising and blood donations.
  • The MeMedia collective has being doing in Chinese for total coverage of Earthquake discussions what the crew at Shanghaiist have been doing in English; among all the links MeMedia has been aggregating and sharing publicly on Diigo has been the last blog post from a teacher in Beichuan who didn't survive the earthquake, photos of a school sports activity from May 11.

  • Blogger Oliver Ding has set up a community space on SlideShare for those affected by and working against the damage done by the earthquake, one of the many ways to help the earthquake victims that in turn is being shown support on Digg.
  • Support for relief efforts from English-language bloggers has been equally swift and thorough. Overall support for Red Cross China has been so strong that accessing the Red Cross website for the past several days has been difficult due to the high volumes of traffic it has been receiving. In no particular order, here are just a few of the many blog posts foreign and English-language bloggers in China have given us in just a few hectic days: http://www.ifgogo.com/80/how-to-donate/ http://cnreviews.com/uncategorized/china_earthquake_relief_and_donation_guide_-_will_update_20080514.html http://cupofcha.com/2008/05/16/ways-to-donate-to-earthquake-relief.html http://www.chinavortex.com/2008/05/how-chinese-websites-are-helping-donations-for-sichuan-earthquake-victims/ http://shanghaiist.com/2008/05/13/red_cross_society_earthquake_sichuan.php http://beijingbookworm.com/whatsnew.htm http://www.pandapassport.com/chinese-internet/donate-for-adspace/ http://www.lostlaowai.com/commentary/blog/2008/05/15/add-a-quake-relief-donation-badge-to-your-blogsite/ http://rconversation.blogs.com/rconversation/2008/05/help-chinas-qua.html http://chinesepod.com/earthquake_relief http://shanghaiist.com/2008/05/16/green_scene_how.php

The Charity Place: Social networks take word of mouth to a global level - 0 views

  • I’m still totally captivated by the enormous possibilities of social media to share ideas and information, and am inspired to post (yet again) on the subject of how people are using them to come together and do good – because I’ve been motivated to give in the last few days via Twitter.

    Just look at what Jeremiah Owyang has started through his blog and through his Twitter feed, which Oliver Ding then turned into this presentation on Slideshare...

  • I'm sorry to say that I had previously received an approach from two charities - one via Facebook and the other by email - but hadn't yet made a donation.  However, Jeremiah's Twitter message changed that. Charities, take note...
  • There are at least 30 people who have indicated they’ve given through Jeremiah’s updates on Twitter, and more – no doubt – who have given privately.

  • 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

The LinkedIn Blog: LinkedIn For Good - Support Earthquake Relief in China - 0 views

  • On Monday, May 12, at 2.28 p.m. Beijing time (6:28 GMT), a major earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale jolted southwestern China's Sichuan Province. It shook the skyscrapers in downtown Shanghai, hundreds of miles away; the shocks were felt as far away as Thailand and Vietnam. The earthquake has rendered over 5 million homeless and a confirmed death toll of over 40,000, a number that is expected to rise dramatically as rescue teams continue to reach the most affected areas (Source: Associated Press). In cities near the earthquake's epicenter, thousands are buried under the rubble of collapsed buildings. We encourage you to support emergency relief efforts by donating to either of these organizations.
