NGO's
Sichuan Quake Relief is a non-profit, humanitarian organization. Immediately after the quake struck, a group of Chengdu-based expatriates and local Chinese people joined forces, and using The Bookworm Cafe as their headquarters, worked to assist the relief operation.
Our work includes two parts:
One is focusing on coordinating small-scale projects to improve the lives of people affected by the May 12th, 2008, 8.0-magnitude earthquake. Sichuan Quake Relief identifies the specific needs of remote communities that may not receive immediate assistance, and then sends out appeals, collects funds and supplies, and coordinates delivery. We accept donations mainly from foreign individuals and foreign organizations, as well as internal individuals and Chinese organizations. Because there has been such a strong need for people to come together and help rebuild the lives of the people who lost everything, our role is to provide relief and up-to-date information, ensuring that donations, often from a long distance away, will be donated according to the donor's will. Through the NGO Coalition that we have organized, and our newsletter and website, we effectively provide the most recent information so that donors can see where their money is going and so we can fill the missing gaps in the larger relief effort. To date, we have concentrated on direct relief and education, providing educational supplies, teachers, back-to-school kits, mental-health support, and toys, as well critical supplies such as food, water, hygiene, and mosquito repellents, etc. Our work has been carried out in the cities and townships of Yingxiu, Mianzhu, Qingchuan, Shifang, Luoshui, Dujiangyan, and others.
The second part of our work is as a platform for communications about quake relief and the rebuilding effort between domestic and foreign NGOs. By building this communication platform, NGOs will be able to communicate in a timely manner and cooperate smoothly. Our coalition meetings consist of groups involved in the region that provide relief in the areas of health, education, direct disaster relief, development and sustainability, mental health, legal rights, reconstruction, and the youth and elderly. The number of NGOs involved in the area is well over 100, and we are in direct contact with most of them that intend to sustain long-term relief efforts. Our Coalition meetings are networking events and experience-sharing sessions, offering NGOs to communicate with one another their ideas, worries, solutions, needs, and resources. Our newsletter is sent out via e-mail and includes information about each NGO's projects. In addition, our website, www.sichuan-quake-relief.org, will feature a regularly updated description of each NGO's work. The goal of this work is to ensure that everyone stays informed on current developments in a timely manner in order to promote effective cooperation and minimize overlap of programs.
Connecting Hearts
www.xlxd.org
Mental Health
The Chinese name of our project is 1+1 xian lian xingdong and has been translated to" 1+1 connecting hearts and minds" in English. It is the result of a joint proposal by APEPCY (Aids Prevention Education Project for Chinese Youth) and it's spokesperson: Mr. Bai Yan Song. The goal is to give mental health relief to children and youth that have been affected by natural disasters to reduce the mental harm that the traumas of experiencing a disaster will give them. Although the project was launched following the earth quake in Sichuan, it is our intention that the project will act on a long-term basis and that it will address the need for mental health relief after other natural disasters as well. The idea behind the title is that the first "1" symbolizes the wider society, that all of us have an obligation to help the society around us. The "+" indicates the media, which will help us inform the public about our activities and help inform more people about how one can give mental health relief following a disaster. The second "1" symbolizes the specialists that we are sending to Sichuan to help give mental relief to the victims.
The first activity of the "1+1 connecting hearts and minds" project was to encourage people to send letters of encouragement and compassion to children and youth that had suffered after the earth quake in Sichuan. The campaign was launched in May and collected hundreds of letters, many gifts and books that were brought to children and youth in Sichuan in time for the Children's Day on June 1st.
In June, the "1+1 connecting hearts and minds" project started sending volunteers to Sichuan. The volunteers were specialists in the field of psychology. They were divided into groups, and so were the children based on their age. The volunteers taught children, primary school students and middle school students in classes ranging from reading, computing to singing.
The project seeks to work on a long-term basis, so that in the future when natural disasters happen there will be an efficient system that can pick up the needs of victims for urgent, efficient mental health relief.

Rebuilding
Although Hanyuan lies 270 kilometers away from Wenchuan, it received the waves of the May 12th earthquake, and the loss was quite serious, with altogether 70,000 families and altogether 220,000 people being affected. 43,000 people in Hanyuan County have no home to return to; 23 of our Hanyuan compatriots have died; and over 500 were injured. Approximately 30% of Hanyuan's Fulin county town buildings collapsed, and altogether 70% of buildings there are seriously damaged (condemned) or collapsed. In the coming few years, post-earthquake rebuilding will become a significant part of Development Organization of Rural Sichuan' work.
DORS, as a local charity organization, quickly responded by entering the disaster relief work, distributing tents, beds, blankets, and cooking oil, etc. living necessities, providing survivors with flexible funds for living expenses in their time of need, and providing specific things requested by affected people in their attempt to rebuild. We interviewed and researched each family on their situation, usually going to the site of their former homes to inspect the loss, and started from a collected name list of the most seriously affected and often originally poor families in the hardest-hit neighbourhood of Hanyuan's county town.
DORS' future plans, in addition to resuming our usual poverty-relief work in the rural areas surrounding the county town (www.dors.org.uk), hopes to rebuild houses in the organization's project villages which were more seriously affected by the quake. This will be a large-scale project requiring significant funds. Even with government subsidies, most villages will not have enough money to rebuild, because the average Hanyuan county per-person rural income is about $150 per entire year.
DORS is a transparent organization and welcomes your contribution of opinions, research, publicity work, internet assistance, donations or possibly becoming a volunteer.

Health/ Humanitarian Aid For Disabled
Brief Introduction
Handicap International is an international solidarity organization specialized in the field of disability. Non-governmental, non-religious, non-political and non-profit making, it works alongside people with disabilities, whatever the context, offering them assistance and supporting them in their efforts to become self-reliant. Handicap International helps people with disabilities to regain their independence, dignity and rights.
Our network
Since the creation of the French organization in 1982, seven other divisions were born in: Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Great Britain, Germany, Canada and the United States.
Our mandate
The association aims to contribute to development, co-operation, more specifically the integration and autonomy of people with disabilities and assistance in their rehabilitation.
Brief Introduction about programs
Tibet Program
The Tibet Program's sponsors include the European Union, Belgium international development Department, Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign affairs, Canadian Fund and Swiss sponsors. Since 2000, Handicap International cooperates with Tibet's disabled Union and started the following programs: Recovering and Cure Program offered facilities and technical support for Tibetans with artificial limbs and rectifying workshop and Recovering service center. Meanwhile, we trained some local special physiotherapists and wrote related textbooks, and also assisted in managing of Recovering service center and coordinating cooperation between different departments.
Artificial limb and rectifying workshop Program is the only one organization for artificial limb rectifying service in Tibet. Handicap International helped Tibet disabled Union to set up this organization in Lhasa in August, 2001 and also set up a small artificial limb rectifying facility repair shop. The shop can make and install artificial limbs, rectifying facilities and other action assisting facilities for the disables and offer some basic physical cure service. Otherwise, Handicap International helped Tibet disabled Union to train some local rectifying technicians and offered some advice about shop management. Meanwhile, the shop can offer on-site service for those disabled in distant areas.
Community recovering Program started in 2000.This program focuses on helping local organizations to set up a community-based service net. We offer basic recovering cure, immigrating introduction, rights safeguarding services. Meanwhile, Handicap International cooperated with other international organizations to develop village doctors training program, publicizing knowledge about the disabled activity etc.
Supporting Tibet deaf-mute Union and Tibetan sign language Program at first aimed at standardizing Tibetan sign language which had been popular with Tibetan deaf-mute and developing new sign language words. he program started in 2001.Up to now, this program has set up Tibet deaf-mute Union and got the formal registration, developed a Tibetan sign language dictionary and Tibetan sign language training, career skill training and so on. This program promotes communication between deaf-mutes and normal people, helps deaf-mutes to get skills to live on. And it offers necessary supports for deaf-mutes to take a role in the local community.
Integrated Disability Program in Yuexi County (Sichuan province, central China)
This ambitious and comprehensive program covers a wide variety of activities and services around disability prevention, rehabilitation and integration. Its covers 137 villages in 18 townships of the Yuexi County and is foreseen for a period of 5 years. The best practices and lessons learnt from this program are foreseen to be disseminated to other rural areas of China when the project ends.
Support Network for Children with Cerebral Palsy/Cognitive Delay in Guangxi province (South China)
The project was officially launched in 2006, covering two counties in Guangxi. The objective is to set up a support network for children with CP/CD to improve their autonomy and integration in the society. The approach is to mobilize local resources and build the capacity of local actors to manage disability issues in a comprehensive way, emphasizing on social integration. The Guangxi Disabled People's Federation (GDPF) and the two counties' Disabled People's Federations are the main partners of the project.
Orthopedic Workshop
The Lhasa Orthopedic Workshop was opened in 2001 in collaboration with the Tibet Disabled Persons' Federation. It is currently the only orthopedic workshop in Tibet. The beneficiaries of the services provided by the workshop are people with physical problems of the lower limbs, mainly amputees, clubfoot children, patients suffering from after effects of poliomyelitis and Kashin-Beck disease.
National disabled children paramedic project
The project is funded by the Switzerland Foundation, cooperated with the Chinese Bureau of Civil Affairs, to make the disabled children paramedic a formal vocation, to draft the vocational standards, and to develop the model for disabled children paramedic caste test. Set up a national training center, 5 regional training center and 25 learning center.
After the earthquake, the experts and project supporters from Handicap International came to Chengdu at the very first time. We donated the medical goods and started the federal Handicap project with Huaxi Hospital and the third hospital of Chengdu, to give support in both medicine supply and tech way. After the first phase of the project, we will assess the results and start the long-term recovery project for the disabled in the earthquake affected areas.

Rebuilding
Habitat's Response:
Habitat for Humanity has launched an initial US$5 million appeal campaign for the first-phase of a long-term and sustained effort to rebuild homes and lives following the earthquake in China.
Strategy:
The first phase will begin with a goal of supporting 1,000 families, in groups of 100 in Jingyang and other locations, and investing in the capacity to assist thousands more through partnerships with local authorities and other non-governmental organizations.
Three-part Response: Working with the local Jingyang district government and subject to clearance from higher authorities, Habitat envisages a three-part response:
- Habitat will work with local government and home partners to provide technical assistance in designing earthquake-resilient buildings, and in construction management. Most homes will be rebuilt in existing villages.
- Habitat will work with partners to meet government guidelines to build a certain number of schools, clinics and other facilities along with the houses.
- Habitat will leverage donor funding by working with the local authorities and financing institutions to provide micro-financing facilities to supplement the cost of construction. The local and central governments are due to provide shelter grants of RMB20.000 (US$2,900) for each family. The remaining RMB50.000 (US$7,300) estimated cost will be provided partially by the families and partially through loans from rural credit cooperatives.
Leadership:
Habitat for Humanity has appointed an experienced project director to lead the program. A decision has still to be made on whether to base the response team out of Chengdu or closer to Jingyang.
CEO Visit:
Habitat for Humanity International's chief executive met families and official in Jingyang and other earthquake-devastated communities during a visit to Sichuan at the end of June.
Fund Raising:
Habitat for Humanity supporters around the world are raising money in aid of Habitat's reconstruction efforts. Events that have taken place or are planned include charity walks; student-fund raisers; a photo exhibition; a wine auction and a gala ball.
Publicity:
Broadcasters worldwide, including Australia's ABC and TVS Sydney, and US-based CNNI and Discovery Networks have agreed to show a public service announcement to raise awareness and funds for Habitat's reconstruction program.
Volunteers:
There are opportunities for volunteers to participate in Habitat reconstruction programs after natural disasters, but usually once reconstruction programs are up and running. When the programs in Jingyang and elsewhere reach that stage, Habitat will welcome volunteers.
Heifer International
www.heifer.org/
Community Development/ Sustainable Developement
Heifer International was founded in the US in 1944 by Dan West, and is an international non-profit development organization dedicated to ending hunger and caring for the earth. By providing gift animals and trainings, Heifer China, started in 1984, has been working with partners on promoting holistic community development and capacity building activities so as to help rural communities and families become self-reliant, get rid of poverty and improve the environment to eventually achieve sustainable development. Heifer China is now implementing more than 60 projects in both remote and minority areas in 6 regions in China.
Heifer plunged itself into the relief and rehabilitation work since the 512 earthquake. With the guidance of an interim management group led by Chen Taiyong, the staff donated money, and visited several of the most severely affected areas, and established 2 Heifer relief service centers in Xiang'e Town of Dujiangyan and Baichao Town of Guangyuan. As one of the initiating and participating organizations, Heifer China endeavored in a joint effort within the 512 NGO Relief Service Center with other organizations. We also received donations from staff, partners, recipients, other organizations and friends, and made an effort to deliver supplies to Xiang'e of Dujiangyan, Baichao of Guangyuan, Anxian of Mianyang, Hanwang of Mianzhu, Long'an and Mupi of Pingwu, Leigu of Beichuan, Longmenshan and Xiaoyudong of Pengzhou.
As time passes, the emergency relief stage is coming to an end, and we are facing the urgent and challenging rehabilitation process. Heifer China plans to implement a disaster rehabilitation project which will assist 9000 earthquake affected rural families (5000 of them will be assisted through Heifer's unique model: passing on the gift). We will provide Heifer's Values-Based Holistic Community Development model training and capacity building, as well as livestock to improve the local condition. The project will rely on the solidarity of a Self-Help Group and integrate resources in cooperation with the local government and other organizations, to achieve holistic community development.
Mercy Corps

Health/ Hygiene
We support others who go out to difficult access areas, taking general supplies and medical supplies to more remote health facilities in the earthquake area. We also are involved in discussing longer term strategies and basic health and hygiene with local groups interested in adopting villages and provide opportunities to talk through problems.
Our interests include vocational training and helping people get back to improved agricultural productivity. We still have medicines available (Western medicines bought in China). We are willing to provide training / coaching in community development and in supporting projects which will improve people's livelihood.
We have some books and manuals on health and toilets in Chinese.
Care for Children

Childcare/ Trauma Counseling/ Rehabilitation
Special project in earth quake area
Rob Glover and the Care for Children team arrived in Sichuan province six days after the big earthquake happened. So far, CFC has been working with ten orphanages in that area as shown below:
Orphanage - Province
Cheng Du - Si Chuan
Mian Yang (Zi Tong) - Si Chuan
De Yang - Si Chuan
A Ba Zhou (Mao Xian) - Si Chuan
Nei Jiang - Si Chuan
Zi Gong - Si Chuan
Yi Bin - Si Chuan
Guang Yuan - Si Chuan
Ba Zhong - Si Chuan
Bao Ji - Shaan xi
By the end of June, CFC has organized five training workshops concentrating on childcare, trauma counseling and rehabilitation in Si Chuan with a total audience of more than 500 people. Counselors from other organizations and professionals from CFC have worked together to help people who have suffered through this natural disaster. Rob and the team have visited most orphanages in the area and committed/wired 460.000 RMB in total for the emergency aid fund. With generous support from donors, CFC is also able to support some orphanages in their rebuilding efforts. Meanwhile, a large quantity of clothes, personal hygiene kits, toys, and children's food has been delivered to each orphanage by CFC.
A plan of further training is under discussion for CFC to design and develop a foster care project in more places in Si Chuan province. Foster care has been listed as the second solution to children orphaned by this earthquake by the Chinese Central Government (the first solution is adoption by kinship families). This is a good opportunity to encourage more small orphanages to conduct quality foster care in local communities. CFC has committed to provide partial financial support to these new orphanages. At the same time, CFC is working closely with orphanages during the rebuilding phase.
Alpha Communities

Education
With only fourteen days before the start of the Olympics in Beijing the world's attention is shifting from the earthquake in Sichuan to the events in Beijing and there is still a lot of work to be done here. There are homes, schools, cities and people's lives still to be rebuilt. The local officials and the Chinese government are doing an amazing job providing food and temporary housing for the people that have lost everything during the earthquake. There are many organizations and local people that have all pulled together to help.
China is working hard to check on repairable houses and fix them as soon as they can and to place people that lost their homes in safe comfortable housing. The Health Ministry has said that there have been no serious epidemic outbreaks or public health incidents. There have been some problems with measles and intestinal discomfort due to the earthquake and the rainy weather that the area has experienced.
This week our director and another office worker went north of Chengdu to follow up on an area that some of our volunteers had helped out with immediately after the earthquake. In May the people of the town were all living in tents and trying to cope with the immediate aftermath of what had happened. Now where there were tents there are temporary houses and both Alpha Communities workers found the people very friendly and open. They were invited many times to sit down and enjoy the company of the local people. It was good to see that a place that has been so devastated by the earthquake start to pick up the pieces of their lives and rebuild. The local children have moved to other areas in China to study this year since their schools have been destroyed.
This week in Sichuan north of Chengdu there was an aftershock of 6.0. Here in the Chengdu office staff felt the building shake and sway for about 20 seconds. There were only 5 injuries reported from the aftershock at the epicentre. Thankfully there were no deaths and we hope to see the aftershocks lessen as time goes on.
Thank you for your continued support, Alpha Communities

Health
Since the earthquake struck Sichuan in May, the World Health Organization has been working in a number of ways to support the government of the People's Republic of China. In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, contributions were for basic needs, such as water purification, basic medical equipment, drugs and surgical equipment. WHO also provided training to nurses and volunteers to help deal with the psychological impact of the disaster, and provided technical guidelines on subjects such as the safe disposal of medical waste.
For the reconstruction phase, the WHO was approached by the Chinese government to provide technical assistance in rebuilding the healthcare system. (The "healthcare system" means not just bricks and mortar, but also the systems and the people who work within these systems.) WHO is providing advice to the government on rebuilding on invitation from the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Health.

rebuilding/ education
Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) and Lions clubs members around the world are mobilizing more than US$3 million in direct funding and relief supplies to aid Lions-led relief efforts in China.
A team of 40 Lions from Districts 381 and 380 traveled to Sichuan province to assist with hands-on relief efforts and the immediate and emerging needs of victims. The Lions are still in the area, disbursing relief materials including tents, medicine and food. Working with the Chinese Red Cross, Lions purchased 10 relief vehicles and ambulances.
Lions Clubs International is the only official volunteer service club organization in China and the only organization in which Chinese citizens can volunteer.
Lions have donated nearly 7,000 tents to provide shelter for those left homeless and relief workers. They are now working to help move people from temporary housing into more permanent housing.
Lions have eight projects in the drawing board, and with a little additional funding support, they will be able to complete all eight projects, which include rebuilding several schools and rebuilding an entire village with homes, school and clinic. They have partnered with the Chinese government, who is providing the land and utilities for these projects.
More information is available on Lion's efforts at http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/content/lions_lcif_earthquake.shtml
Donations can be made at http://www.lcif.org/donate and 100 percent of every donated will directly go to the earthquake relief efforts.
Operation USA
http://www.opusa.org/
psycho social aid
Operation USA responded rapidly to the Sichuan earthquake by deploying a team to the hardest hit province, Sichuan, to assess damage, meet with government officials and coordinate reconstruction projects in the region. Operation USA is partnering with Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the philanthropic arm of Honeywell Corporation, to reconstruct a village-level primary school that will serve 300 students. Future plans also include the construction of a primary healthcare clinic that will serve the same population.
Operation USA aims to not only rebuild structures but also the livelihoods of those affected by the earthquake. To that end, Operation USA is investing funds in much needed psycho-social programs for children dealing with post-traumatic stress. Currently, Operation USA is working with a local partner on a mental health initiative to aid children affected by the Sichuan earthquake; it will provide models for child care services to displaced and traumatized children. Operation USA respectfully requests funds from the public so that we can continue to help those affected by this tragedy.
