Kevin,
that was an extremely wise decision on your school's part. Rather than face difficulties in contacting organizations that we are not familiar and confident of, it is in the best interest to send the money to the very much respectable British Red Cross. This also saves donors the trouble of needing to wire / TT money.
I also wish to remind all of you good hearted souls out there, that money raised may not always reach its intended victims, such as the large amounts of donations 'lost' in the Indonesia's Tsunami crisis not too long ago. I highly encourage all donations to be made to known and legitimate organizations.
The British Red Cross has launched an online China Earthquake Appeal. This is the link:
http://www.redcross.org.uk/news.asp?id=81083
Cheques can also be sent to:
British Red Cross
PO Box 1217
Sunderland
SR9 9WD
(cheques made payable to British Red Cross China Earthquake Appeal)
UK Tax payers can also reclaim tax on donations.
Regards,
Jennifer Buster
Kingsford Community School

I might have guessed that Kingsford Community School was behind this praiseworthy initiative. Your department is easily the best in the country. I've seen your pupils perform at the SOAS New Year party several years in succession.
Just to let you know that, on my Head Teacher's instructions, the appeal I make in tomorrow's assembly (slideshow attached, in case you'd like to use it) will actually be on behalf of the British Red Cross. He thinks (wisely) that our parents will be reluctant to make cheques out to an organization they haven't heard of. Sorry. But the donations I send on will still make a difference, one hopes. Time is of the essence!
Best wishes,
Kevin Maynard

Thank you for your e-mail. Cheques to CBTTA seem like the best solution for our school. I need to get something organized quickly. However, I also need to be sure that the money raised really is going to help the victims, otherwise parents will be reluctant to send me donations. I tried contacting CBTTA on their website, but although I filled in one of their forms, asking them for reassurance, there was no 'connectivity'---not a very encouraging start. How can I be sure that when cheques are sent to Dr Daniel Lee, they'll really get to those suffering in Sichuan (a province I love)? Please reply quickly.
Best wishes,
Kevin Maynard
