Q: Why you just wired $20,000 on Friday, 5/16/2008?

A:  This $20,000 was made due to several reasons:

1. Most of donations are from Paypal and Google Checkout and it take 3-4 business days for the bank to clear the deposit.

2. Due to security concern, for a certain period of time, Paypal put "restricted accout access" to our Paypal account. Now it’s cleared but already caused delay of our withdrawal.

3. For the 1st transfer back to China, we want to make sure and verify it's absolutely right before we can wire more money in the coming transfers. 

4. Our policy is to transfer money to Red Cross Society of China (official name of China Red Cross) within 24 hours as soon as the donation is deposited in our bank account.

A: THANKS for your donation,

 

Majority of donations are from Paypal and Google Checkout. To protect privacy of donors, we only display part of donor's name and part of confirmation number.

 

We are working on a more reliable tracking system; just don't wanna leak our donor's info, so have to be more careful on that, so we are making a software to generate a more reliable donor list automatically. Right now we are generating this list everyday manually, so this will take some time.

 

Please check back to get most updated list and info. If you still don't see your name in 24 hours, please write us a email with your name, amount and transaction ID, we will check for you.
