 Setting up the
tents
The Yingjiang
government officials thanked our staff for their consideration and timely
response. The tents not only provided shelter, but also encouragement.
Recently, the
country experienced quakes of various magnitudes. More than 30 quakes hit
Yingjiang on Jan. 14th, the biggest one measuring 4.3 scale. Seismic
movements shifted from vertical to horizontal, that have further crippled
already damaged houses. The One Foundation Rescue League has alerted all member
teams to closely monitor weather conditions and disaster situations and keep
frequent contact with the headquarters.
