| HKFYG Mobilises Youth Campaign for Disaster Relief |
| |
The shock of Monday's terrible earthquake in Sichuan has hit us all. In its deep concern for the wounded and the suffering, so many of whom are young, HKFYG is putting its entire network into action. We are mobilizing Hong Kong youth to give as generously as they can, showing how much they care for their fellow human beings, victims of this disastrous tragedy.
Our young people are pledging at least $20, with cash or cheques in Federation donation boxes at Youth SPOTs, schools, units and offices. Visit www.u21.hk/earthquake for details. Please do all you can to help us in this major effort. Donations will be handed over to the HK Red Cross to support relief work in Sichuan. |
