On a cool afternoon on the 12th of May, 2008 there was a feeling of terror as the winds picked up and the civilians of SiChuan started to panic. The earthquake that hit that faithful day was the 19th Deadliest earthquake ever. Many people died that day, crushed in houses, buried under buildings, and those who were just left for dead, but for those who survived nothing was left of their belongings and they had no homes to go back to. They were stranded and alone. Our group feels very passionately about the children that were left without education and homes and we want to give them an opportunity to go to school and learn, and we want to make a difference so that when we grow up we can look back and really say we made a change. Our group wants to raise funds to help support non government organizations (NGO'S), and also use the same funds to buy the children of the school utensils and class room needs.
