An 8 magnitude earthquake struck the central Sichuan Province on May 12, 2008, causing significant civilian casualties, structural damage, and disrupting power lines and other vital services. At least 41,353 people have died so far in Sichuan, Shan Xi, Gan Su, and Yun Nan. The Sichuan earthquake may eventually claim as many as 50,000 lives.

No matter where we are from, no matter what ethnicity we are, no matter what language we speak, we were all saddened by the catastrophe. This is because we are not different from those people who lost their parents, lovers, siblings, kids, friends and colleagues in the earthquake. Let's do something for the victims of 5.12 Earthquake. Let's bring our love and regards to them. Let's give them a hand.

To assist China's disaster relief efforts in areas affected by the earthquake, various organizations in U.S.A. have organized many donation events. By far, U.S. government, organizations, and people have made donation worth of more than 23 million U.S. dollars with loads of food, water containers, blankets, lanterns, and etc.

We organize this event to appreciate the contribution by the people who feel concerned about the earthquake victims in China. Also we wish more people will give a hand to the victims through this activity.

Everyone is welcomed to attend this event. Please send a reservation to 5.12donation@gmail.com or register on www.columbia.edu/cu/cuasia, providing your name and email address. Thanks!

点亮生命之光

--5．12 地震赈灾义演晚会 (免费)

2008年5月12日一场8级的地震发生在中国的四川省。到目前为止四川，陕西，甘肃和云南的灾区已有至少41,353人死亡。这场地震最终或许将夺去5万人以上的生命。

看着那些舍生忘死奋战在灾区的勇士们, 看着那些守望在废墟旁的亲人们, 看着那些渴望帮助的受难者们。身在异乡的我们都会想我们能够做些什么，都在内心里呼喊“不要放弃，你们并不孤单，因为我们在这里”。

我们每个人都有职责尽一份心力，献一份爱心。让我们不分国界，不分组织一起为灾区人民做一些事情。目前美国各大公司和机构纷纷组织员工捐款。美东地区各学生团体，校友会，华人社团也陆续开展了捐款活动。在此，我们表示深深的敬意。

在美东地区众多华人组织和一些美国及国际非营利组织的大力支持下，我们积极筹备了一场演出来回报给所有献爱心的人，同时让更多有爱心的人了解灾区的情况和捐款的途径。晚会欢迎各界人士参与。晚会包括中国戏曲，歌曲，舞蹈，曲艺，合唱等内容。节目由美东地区知名演艺人士，各高校学生和当地华人联合奉献。晚会当天欢迎观众自愿捐款，所得金额将通过中国驻纽约总领事馆 (www.nyconsulate.prchina.org/chn/），百人会(www.committee100.org/)和中国扶贫基金会(www.fupin.org.cn/) 转交给中国地震灾区。

同心协力，多创造一个奇迹；

让我们心手相连中国地震灾区人民。
