Please help Taiwan!

Dear friends,

 

Last week Taiwan suffered the most serious natural flooding from typhoon Morakot.  The amount of rain of the whole year was poured in within 3 days.  Many villages were not evacuated in time and people were either missing or trapped on the mountain.  Many farms were washed away.  It goes without saying that many street animals need emergency rescue.  I wish I can be there to help and volunteer.

Reading the news, I feel very helpless being in the US.  If you’ve ever been to Taiwan or have any Taiwanese friends, you would know we are very kind and nice people.  Although under this tricky political climate, we try to be positive and survive.  If you can, please seek the following channel, Red Cross Taiwan or World Vision Taiwan (http://www.worldvision.org.tw/en/index.htm), to help.

Or American Red Cross International Relief Fund

If you have English books suitable for toddlers or teenagers which you wish to donate, please contact me.  I can imagine there will be a demand after the villages start to rebuild their libraries.  Thank you so very much!

 


Please include Taiwanese people in your prayers.  I would really appreciate it.


 

Sincerely yours,

 

Your friend Annie from New York
