2010-6-25: Help Peng Zhou!

2010-6-25 : Donate to Peng Zhou and his Family.

Peng Zhou, male, was born in 1980 in YueYang, Hunan province of China. He came to the USA in 2008 in order to pursue his master degree in California State University, East Bay. Majored in Computer Science, he originally planned to graduate by the end of 2010. Peng is kind-hearted and nice to people. Tragedy happened to him at around 4PM on 06/23/2010 when he was swimming in the pool close to his apartment. He lost consciousness and was then drowned after his head hit the pool wall. When he was found around 15 minutes later, the pupil dilation has already started. He was sent to emergency/intensive care immediately. Peng passed away yesterday (06/26/2010) afternoon.

A mother always worries when her son is away on a long trip. Likewise for Peng’s parents! Upon hearing the tragedy, Peng’s parents are extremely grieved… As low-income peasants, they even don’t know where to borrow money for their trip to the USA to see their beloved son……

CMAIN will continue to call for donation for Peng and his family.

4-28-2010: Against Violence toward Chinese and Asian!

http://bayarea-chinese.cmain.org

Violence happened continuously in Bayview, San Francisco and Oakland lately. Several American-Chinese were assaulted and some were even beaten to death by juveniles, however, the mainstream media chose to ignore it. Bai Lan, the consultant of Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, was quoted as saying that the above-mentioned cases reported by media only represents a very small fraction of the brutalities encountered by the American-Chinese in US. We can’t let this happen anymore! While we grieve for the victims, comfort their friends and families, we are inviting all community members to call on authorities to stop the violence in the communities that we live in. The Chinese Mutual Aid International Network (CMAIN) launched a petition and donation campaign to fight violence toward Chinese and Asians! We hope our voice will be heard and therefore urge the authorities to strengthen the safety of our neighborhood. Pan Wei Xuan, the ethnic Chinese member of the police commission will submit the petition letter to the police committee meeting. Let us all contribute to build a better and safer community!. Please sign the petition By Clicking Here .

Your donation will be used in following area:

1. Media ads on local English media such as SF Chronicle and sfgate.com.
2. We are also considering ads on major highway bulletin boards in the bay area.
