iWalk 16 June 2008 No Comment

The WenChuan earthquake has left at least 69,159 people dead already. Among all the cities in disaster area, MianZhu is in the worst situation with 11,098 people dead. (Data update to 12:00am 12 June, 2008)
We went to Mianzhu with some relief supplies the day before yesterday. Tried to find if there is still something we can help to those poor villages around.
