China's Storms

Military dispatched to crush ice on major roads in China

My heart has been touched the past few days. As some of you may have heard China has been experiencing wide spread snow/ice storms that has literally debilitated much of the country. Both ground and air transportation has struggled with this disater. The heart break of it all is that electricity for heaters is cut and those that depend on coal are not able to receive the shipments because of the conditions. There is no heat in the homes and orphanages with small weak babies. Other goods and food supplies are being cut off or at least the demand is causing local prices to sky rocket. Children need such basic materials as warm quilts, food, diapers and heat. Half the Sky is one charity which is collesting and dispensing money to the orphanges to help them with their critical needs. For many of us, our children are already there, lying in the frozen air. Please consider a donation to this charity they have dubbed "Little Mouse Emergency Fund" in recognition of their New Year of the Rat which begins this week.
