An earthquake of magnitude 8 struck Wenchuan, Sichuan Province on the afternoon of May 12. China was shocked, so was the world. The intensity, wide-spread area affected and severity of loss in human life and property are the most unusual during the past several decades. The situation of this disaster draws the attention of people all over China and the world. After the earthquake struck, we received telephone calls from US and Spanish agencies, which showed a lot of concern over the situation in affected areas and their wish to provide assistance and help to welfare institutions in these places. Hereby China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA) would like to give its sincere gratitude to those agencies that are concerned about orphaned and disabled children in welfare institutions.
