Helping China's earthquake victims

May 19th, 2008

On May 12 a devastating earthquake hit the Sichuan region in China.
I was on my way to Beijing at the time and for the past week have witnessed
the effects of this tragedy on our business partners and friends here.
Some have lost family and loved ones.

Today began 3 days of national mourning marked by 3 minutes of ship, train
and car horns being sounded simultaneously. The effect was deeply moving.
Sadly there have been several other similar disasters in Asia over the past few
years but this one has hit especially close to home for us at Greentea Design.

Foreign businesses and individuals here in China are doing what they can for the
relief effort. We also want to help those who have helped us these past 10 years.
Management and staff at Greentea have already made contributions, and until
the end of May we will be donating 5% of every sale of Chinese antique and
contemporary pieces to The Chinese Red Cross. These pieces will be marked
with a Blue Dot on our website. We have been assured by The Red Cross that
money raised will go directly to the affected area.

As with other global events, this is not about government or politics but about
helping the people who need it so desperately right now. Our hearts are with
our friends here and we hope that with the generosity being shown worldwide
the rebuilding will be swift.
