2008四川地震海外华人募捐会
同胞们！2008年5月12日，在我们祖国的四川省，发生了8级的大地震，已经夺去了上万人的生命。

我们的国家又一次进入了一个危急时刻，我们在海外的赤子，责无旁贷地在这个时刻再次站出来！救助我们的同胞兄弟姐妹。我们无法前往灾区，在瓦砾和废墟之中抢救我们的同胞，除了在这里默默祈祷，我们还希望能通过互联网，为那些直面灾难的同胞尽一份菲薄之力，为那些在第一线抢险救灾的勇士们提供一点小小的帮助。1976年7月，一场大地震将睡梦中的唐山摧毁。全国人民与唐山人民一起，将无数的生命拯救，将一座城市从废墟之中重建。今天，我们更有能力，与四川灾区的人民一起，共同渡过难关。

　　我们的同胞正经历着悲伤、死亡、丧失亲人、无家可归等等我们无法想象的灾难与痛苦。我们无法为他们分担着一切，但却有能力给他们一些帮助。在五月的川西，阴雨伴随地震降临，在震后的汶川，　　大地布满了伤痕。在这个时候，一顶挡风的帐篷，一床御寒的被褥，一碗热乎的面条，一句真诚的问候，对于灾区人民来说也许就是希望，就是明天。我们的祖国，我们的同胞，曾经历无数的苦难。今天，我们再也没有理由漠视这一切，同胞们！网友们！让我们一起伸出双手，与灾区人民共同度过这暗夜吧！血浓于水，今夜，让我们都做四川人！

硅谷清华联网SVTN，合法移民会LIA和MITBBS.COM 这次共同发起对我们四川同胞的救助捐款活动，SVNT，LIA是在加利福尼亚注册的非盈利组织，具有IRS 501 (c) (3) ，我们会实时更新捐款情况和具体捐款细节，所有的捐款都会100%转给中国红十字会。
我们的捐款目的是在最快的时间把钱投入到灾区，见到效果，我们认为现在国内，在2星期后东西基本会到位，我门要做的是在这之前把钱交给动作最快的组织，在几个星期后，如果还有捐款，我们会负责把捐款送给灾区的重建，比如四川小学校的重建，儿童的物品采购等。
