A truly humane and gentle sentiment... a star for you... unfortunately there will be posts from people on here soon enough cheering the disaster.

I have two friends, a Baha'i' couple who are teaching english at a local university in Sichuan. When they left last August I gave them some homemade prayer beads. A mutual friend went over to visit them in Febuary and brought back these huge (1 inch across) rosewood Buddhist prayer beads for me.

I am still trying to find out what city they are in and if they are alright.

Thank you for your prayer.

I second that. Some people can be truley ignorant. Glad to see you here. What is going on with aftershocks, and have you heard anymore about the schools.

8533 confirmed dead and rumors goes that there is a small town with 3000 killed, not sure if it is included in the 8533 ones

It happened right during school times, so many schools collapsed and a lot of students and children are still buried and missing

Nice gestures Asala,

I wonder if the aid 'trying' to be provided to Burma right now might be better served in China.

I know Canada's (as well as others) DART team can be on move in less than 24 hrs, I am not sure if they have already been sent to Burma though. (could have mulitple teams, not sure and don't have time to look it up)

My heart goes out to all of those affected by this. Be strong and remember to help wherever possible.

We have a good team here in Canada as well, I believe they were on scene in the USA for Katrina before FEMA was even close.
