China earthquake: An AMDA-RoseCharities Canada / Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) response team is now preparing to leave for Szechuan. Dr Collin Yong (AMDA-Rose Canada) is planning to join the CUHK team members in Hong Kong and proceed from there to Szechuan. Yesterday the AMDA Japan / AMDA Taiwan team departed to join their local medical response counterparts in the area.
Dr Collin Yong is a pediatrician at B.C. Childrens Hospital and has extensive international experience including tsunami in Sri Lanka (see picture) on the AMDA-RoseCharities team.

Myanmar. Clinic work continues as per report yesterday. The death toll is now officially over 40.000 and it is likely that there are many more dying daily as many of the areas affected are reported to be still isolated.

Donors. A huge thankyou to all those donors who have helped so far. RoseCharities funds go directly to the Myanmar clinic and the China earthquake medical team support. We are all volunteers so there are no administration fees. Easiest donation method is via www.CanadaHelps.org (look under Rose Charities). There, you can choose either cause. Donations are tax deductable. Please help if you can even small amounts add up.
