The 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Sichuan, China earlier in the week was so powerful that the impact was even felt here in Hong Kong, some 1500km away. While Hong Kong was not affected, the same cannot be said for those in Sichuan and surrounding provinces, where tens of thousands of familes have been impacted by this disaster. The estimated death toll has reached close to 20,000 with many still unaccounted for, not to mention the millions of homes that were destroyed.

We have created a spreadsheet with information pertaining to the earthquake, donation status and ways you can help out. Everyone is welcome to help update it with the latest information, stats and donation efforts.

Along with the many companies, individuals and governments who have made contributions, EditGrid’s parent company Team and Concepts is also doing their part by making a donation to World Vision Hong Kong to help the quake victims, our neighbors up north.

For those who want to contribute, you can do it through World Vision Hong Kong, or through other organizations. We have created a list of organizations from Hong Kong, China and US who are accepting donations to aid the relief efforts.
