The terrible disaster caused by the recent magnitude 7.8 Earthquake in China is a cause of mourning for the victims to many of us.
My wife is from China, and she talks to her family every day in order to get better updates on the emergency response. Pictures of mothers crying for their children, Husbands for their wifes and children for their parents move our hearts. There is little we can do but show our sympathy and try to help the best we can.
Sun has, like many other companies, coordinated a disaster relief drive that allows all of us (Sun employees and everyone else) to help survivors through this difficult situation:
Administered by Aidmatrix and available to anyone, Sun's Disaster Relief Drive is
a web based tool that offers a simple and effective way to support
disaster relief. The tool will point you towards three nonprofit
organizations (Red Cross, World Vision, Save the Children)---you will
see these choices when you get to the “check out” page of the tool.
Sun employees can also have their contributions matched by Sun's
Matching Gift program by selecting this choice at the "check out" page.
Sun
employees can also make contributions to other qualified nonprofits of
their choice and have those donations matched by using Sun's Matching
Gift program.
If
you are not a Sun Employee, and prefer to contribute to a different
nonprofit, by all means do...help is needed and we recognize that it
can come from many places.
