Only one survivor has been found by a rescue team. Many school buildings collapsed in Beichuan ,Mianyang , Deyang , Chongqing and so on. There are 2,559 schools being damaged and 3,275 school buildings collapsed around 60 counties in Anhui. 39 school buildings are smashed around 10 Counties in Weinan City.
People who saw and heard this catastrophic natural disaster want to do what they could contribute for their fellow citizens, family and friends , and provide the means for warm heart and like-minded people to do the same.
