China Sichuen Earthquake Donation Sales
May
15-23, 2008
The
8.0 earthquake in Sichuen Province, China have claimed more than eighty
thousand lives and made million people homeless, among them many are
children. They urgently need help for food and shelters, and most
importantly aids to rebuild their homeland.
HKRCSS has organized a donation sale a week after
the disaster happened on 12 May 2008. There were over 60 items donated
by many r/c pilots, please see the
detailed donation record. The auction hit the peak at the
last moment of auction period. Finally, we were able to generate a sum
of HK$40,840
of donation money. A cheque
in the name of Hong Kong Radio Control Soaring Society was then issued
to Hong Kong Red Cross China Sichuen
Earthquake Relief Fund on 28 May 2008.
HKRCSS
wishfully thanks the donors and bidders for their generosity.
We believe the money
can be put into right use to save more lives and enable some of the
victims to rebuild their home.
We are proud of being one who are able to help.
We will post a formal
receipt once we have received it from Red Cross.
