Growing our development team at E-xact has meant expanding our company across the Pacific and over to China. Our colleages in Beijing and Chengdu (at
Nibirutech) are valuable contributors to E-xact and are a part of our corporate family. In this time of need within their nation we’re here to offer our support.
Parts of China’s southwestern province of Sichuan have been devastated by the magnitude 7.9 earthquake that hit the area on Monday…
…The areas most affected by the earthquake account for roughly 8 percent of the province’s population and up to 10 percent of its overall economic output, according to initial estimates by the provincial statistics agency. [Reuters]
All those capable are encouraged to send support in any way they can.
As the scale of the earthquake devastation in Sichuan province becomes clearer, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has today launched an emergency appeal for approximately $20 million to support 100,000 survivors in China for at least the next 12 months… [Red Cross].
