Wenchuan Earthquake Relief
On May 12 at 2:28 PM an earthquake measuring 7.9 struck Wenchuan County only 100 kilometers from Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province.  The combination of blocked roads and dangerous mountain terrain in Wenchuan County means that a daunting challenge of saving lives and rebuilding lays ahead for the Chinese government. More than 68,000 lives have been lost, and over 5 million have been displaced. We at Overland China encourage everyone to support the Chinese government in its rescue and rehabilitation efforts for the region and thank the international community for its relief efforts.
