Letter to Parents

June 13, 2008

Dear Parents,

It has been a month since the tragedy of the Sichuan earthquake. The official death toll has risen to almost 70,000, with nearly 18,000 listed as still missing. Five million people lost their homes and many people are still lying in their hospital beds.

As of the end of May, it was encouraging to see that about 1,600,000 yuan had been gathered by all schools of Yew Chung. The proceeds were being sent to our partner charity organisations to reach the Sichuan earthquake victims. We believe the more donations we collect, the more we could contribute to the relief work in the long run. We continue our fundraising efforts in the hope that we can help the affected people to re-energize, re-build and re-construct physically, emotionally and socially.

Also, we carry on sending our love and care to the children in the affect regions. Mid- and long- term plans, such as rebuilding schools and providing training to new teachers in Sichuan, have been discussed among our school communities. More detailed discussions on the actual needs of the affected area will be continued.

Before the school term ends in June, all Yew Chung schools are encouraged to keep up their charity efforts. Your ardent support to the earthquake relief and your prayers for the people affected are much appreciated.

Thank you all for your support!

God Bless,

Sichuan Earthquake Relief Committee
