| Helping out after the China quakes It's been a rough month here on Earth as far as natural disasters go between the Cyclone in Myanmar and the earthquake in China this week. One of the folks working on our local search team is from the Sichuan province, an area very near the center of the quake that was hit very hard. Happily for Hong she was able to reach her family as communications came back online and they were all ok, but for thousands more the news is not so good. if you want to help with a donation to the relief effort, Hong suggested the China Tomorrow Education Foundation, an organization focused on bringing education to children in rural areas, who have set up an earthquake relief fund this week. For those in China, the Ditu.Live team is maintaining this map* of events. I also found this map animation and this BBC map helpful in understanding the geography.
