To all Members
CIRCULAR
Another calamity has struck Asia. The horrendous earthquake which hit the Sichuan Province of China on 12 May 2008 may have claimed 50,000 lives.
Once again we are called upon to respond to the plight of our fellow human beings.
Please donate generously to any of the funds established to collect money for the victims of the disaster. A Buddhist organisation has set up a fund. The details are in the STAR 16 May 2008. You can also donate to the Malaysian Foreign Ministry’s Tabung Bencana Kementerian Luar Negeri. Malaysian newspapers have the details on how you can donate.
As members of an organisation committed to global solidarity, we should reach out to those who are in dire straits in other parts of the world. Your contribution however modest will help to alleviate a bit of the pain of those who are suffering in Sichuan.
In Solidarity,
Chandra Muzaffar.
