The massive earthquake (epicentre 90 km west of Chengdu), with tremors felt as far away as Shanghai and Beijing, had a profound effect on me. This weekend, the death toll rose to over 60.000 and a further 20.000 are still missing. There are continuous aftershocks. Just recently, a strong aftershock caused the collapse of another 270.000 houses. Lakes are forming in the mountains, caused by landslides blocking rivers. All this contributes to fear that areas, already devastated by the earthquake, could be flooded. I, myself, was very affected by the earthquake and was surprised at how people here in Beijing joined in their sympathy in the face of this catastrophe. The ‘China Charity Federation’ supports wherever it can with financial donations and blankets, tents, food and medicine were and will continue to be flown out to the earthquake areas. Furthermore, there is the question of long-term help in the form of rebuilding schools, houses, orphanages.

Information about the project:

Not tax deductible
Trustworthiness of the project
We forward 100 % of your donation

The German fiscal authorities have NOT acknowledged that this project is charitable - but it might be acknowledged in its home country.

betterplace.org did not assess this project. Maybe the project is charitable in its home country according to the local fiscal authorities, but we cannot assess that. Since there are thousands of (very often very small) projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you – or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

betterplace.org forwards 100 percent of your donation to the project carrier or in cases where there is no carrier organisation to the project responsible. The recipient is obligated to use the money for the purpose that was defined in the description of the project.

\ When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.

Liebe Katharina,
vor langer Zeit hast du diesen link in meinem blog gepostet, bis jetzt habe ich mich nicht gemeldet, da ich mit anderen Projekten und meiner Arbeit hier fuer GGG etwas ueberfordert war. Nun vor dem Wintereinbruch moechte ich nun gerne etwas weiterkommen mit dem Projekt auf der Platform, ich habe einen neuen Bedarf hinzugefuegt, in dem ich Geld (erst einmal einen kleinen Betrag) fuer die Region "zusamenbekommen moechte, habe aber immer noch keine Connection zu einer Organisation vor Ort, werde aber ganz bald Kontakt zu der Organisation in Chengdu aufnehmen und versuchen eine Vernetzung zwischen betterplace und sichuan-quake-relieg herzustellen.
Hast du Kontakt zu dieser Organisation?

Liebe Gruesse aus Beijing
Birgit

P.S Vielen Dank fur deien Mitteilung,und Sorry, dass ich mich nie gemeldet habe.
