Last night the road trip club(the rescue team for this speical time) which my sisiter belongs to headed to Chengdu carrying the second batch of relief materials. It included several cases of maxipads, more than 60 tents, lots of medicine, medical alcohol, baby fomula etc. My sister heard there would rain in the near future, so they purchased water-proof canvas for setting up more tents. This would be their second trip there, so they are well-informed of the needs. They loaded three trucks last night, and also filled a few sedans' trunks. They worked till after 11 pm but nobody complained instead they felt they had not got enough stuff for people there.

From their first trip, they saw that the victims closer to the highways had more access to food and water which were settled just by the road. But the victims in remote areas had more difficulties. The rescue team was once stopped by a victim in the middle of the road claiming that his village was too far from the highway, the house all collapsed , people were safe but in urgent need of food and he was sent out for hep. He showed his id to prove what he said was truth therefore the rescue team followed him. After a long drive, they finally got into the village. People there were alll excited to see the rescue team. Most of the young generation went out to big cities for more jobs so the seniors were left there, they were lack of ability to help themselves out. The rescure team gave them all the materials they were carrying. When they had the problems to reverse the truck, all the people in the village helped the truck out by their bare hands. The rescue team felt pretty confident when they started this trip , but right at this moment, they wish they could do a lot more for those victims.

Wish every child on the earth happiness

We gathered 45,000 rmb today, distributed a batch of medicine which was carried by 4 volunteers to the local area.

There is no detailed numbers about how much medicine we need but more we get, better it will be. We are thankful to Mrs. Huang. In fact I only had 22,200yuan at first and my aim is 40,000. Mrs Huang just gave me the rest. I can't describe it just by saying thank you, but every one of us is working for one thing, speed up the process , have the patients use them asap.

There is a new regulation that if we transport medicine by air, we have to have the proof from Children Hope or Red Cross to get onboard and at the same time get the free shipping.

Btw, please notice that if you can get medicine for us you have to attach the receipts or list or any other proving documents from hospitals or related bureus otherwise the local area can not accept our medicine.

Wish every child on the earth happiness

1. I don't have the pictures of the receipts(too much work going on at the same time) but I have the photocopies. I will get the copies of the receipts that's issued by the local govenment and transfer them to you.

2. The fastest transporting is stil by air. As long as we have the proof from Children Hope or Red Cross, we can get free shipping from the airlines.

10:20pm, we sent 4 volunteers bringing about 55 cases of medicines. We have the local volunteers picking us up, and the medicine will be transported to Hong You as soon as possible.(The volunteers today took the leaves from the companies and covered all of their own expenses). They said they are carrieres and they mission is to carry the medicine to the most needing areas.

I am waiting for they phone call to make sure the detailed distributing locations of all  the medicines.
