Sichuan foreigners rally to help locals

The Chengdu expat community is rallying to support locals in relief and recovery efforts to overcome this disaster. Foreigners want to give and want to personally help the victims of this natural disaster in anyway they can. Under the auspices of local expat businesses, appeals have begun for donations.

Peter Goff, in partnership with Chengdu residents and through the cooperation of The Bookworm, is leading one of these appeals.

The Bookworm is a bustling expat online community on book and culture-related activity and has branches in Beijing, Chengdu, and in Suzhou of East China's Jiangsu province.
