In order to help victims who were affected by the earthquake on 12th May in the Sichuan Province of China, the NCC Education East Asia Regional Office organised a goods and funds raising campaign.

On 6th June, staff brought packs of towels, clothes, toys and even basic toiletries from home for delivery to Operation Blessing China, a charity community for organising relief goods to quake-hit areas. Through its network, these goods will be provided to those who have lost everything in the earthquake.

Chengdu Neusoft Information Technology Insitute, one of NCC Education’s Accredited Partner Centres, has a very beautiful campus on the outskirts of Chengdu, Sichuan Province. Its teaching facilities were damaged in the earthquake and very sadly, one of the students lost his life. The NCC Education East Asia Office raised funds of £3000 which will be used to repair essential facilities at the institute to help students return to the campus as soon as possible.

The blood donation organisers expressed their appreciation for the concerned and caring actions of all those involved. Bradley Wade, Director East Asia, said ‘’ Students and teachers in Sichuan have suffered so much from the earthquake, we feel we should do as much to help them as possible. We don’t have the skills to rescue people’s lives at the site, but we can pray for their safety and donate what we have to help them out at this difficult time’’.
