Twitter and Facebook build new homes for Sichuan Quake victims

Monday, May 11th, 2009

On the anniversary of the Sichuan Quake, Twitter and Facebook users raise funds to build permanent, eco-friendly and quake-proof home for 12 families in Sichuan.

I am Roland Catellier, the founder of the Disaster Relief Shelters Foundation a registered charity in the US. In short: After visiting China during the relocation of families during the Three Rivers Gorge Dam project I witnessed elderly people dying early or slipping into deep depression after being displaced from their ancestral homes. Many elderly and young survivors of the quake are still in dire need of running water, toilet facilities, cooling areas and quake-proof homes.

I started this foundation to give those who will not be properly assisted by rebuilding efforts. Our first modest goal on the anniversary of the catastrophe is to raise enough money to build 12 homes.

I value and deeply appreciate your support of this life-saving work.
