I saw this in
Maki's siggy... and I thought its a great thread!! So here's the deal...
Official Forum's Thread - Petition for China Earthquake
the OP's aim is to have a petition, for Outspark to host an event to raise money for the 12th May 2008 Earthquake victims in China. (Similar to Earth Day Event)
Statistics:
Magnitude - 8.0
Almost 70,000 confirmed dead
370,000+ injured
18,000+ still missing
At least 5 million people left without a home
Property damage lost estimated to be US$20 Million.
Picture says a thousand word... so here it is... (i've picked the not so gruesome ones)
Survivers running to safety...
Earthquake has shattered most, if not all main roads, making it hard for backup resources to be transported
Survivers left homeless for an indefinite amount of time...
This may have happened 2 months ago, but in a few seconds, this earthquake has destroyed decades worth of buildings, community, city's infrastructure... The victims will continuously need all the help they need for years to follow...
I hope Outspark would consider the OP's suggestion, as every bit we do will help...
