China Earthquake Fundraising?

Question

I'm sure most, if not all of you, are aware of the devastating earthquake recently in China. I really want to help contribute to aid those in need. I want to start a fundraiser in my school, but I don't have many good ideas.

My school is really new and small, only around 200 students in it as of now. Can someone please post some fundraising ideas that can generate interest and make money?

I know that events such as March of Dimes (March for Babies) sold these paper slips with names on them and hung them on the school lobby...I was thinking someone simple like that, or something else that can be sold.

Answer 1

how about a bake sale?

what you are doing is admirable, but be very wary that if you send money, there is little chance that those in need will ever see it.

If I were to donate, I would send it to the province social welfare agency, the local orphange. To find out how, contact an international adoption agency, they will know how to get money to those that need it and how to get past the corruption.

Answer 2

I'm eating at chinese restaurants because I think they'd send money back to their relatives and friends in China.
