I sent the donation link to my friend. Here is his response (which I believe is absolutly right):

We already donated $200.- to the fund raised by Chinese Community in Toronto.

And we don't trust Red Cross or other western organizations, cause they normally charge a very high percentage administration fee, and, they normally apply other constrains, such as Human Rights, to
the beneficiaries. So, only a small part of our donation will go to the real beneficiaries, many of them will go to CEOs' pockets as their 2008 bonus.
Check the total incomes of all the CEOs of all this kind of organization, you will know what I mean.

Even the small piece of our donation which will go to the real beneficiaries will become the Human Rights weapon of western governments against China, our brothers and sisters, the real beneficiaries who
need the money the most. So, they have to obey their constrains, not OURs, before they can get OUR donations, not THEIRs.
For this kind of reason, we just keep away from these western organizations.

And, we don't believe the Canadian Government will match the donation we have done, because if you want to show your support, your kindness to the people who are suffering the pains, you just do
what you can do quickly, you will NOT wait to see how much money other people will donate then you will match it.
What about if other people donate 0, then it will be your excuse to donate nothing, even you think this is a crushing disaster to the human being???

Shame on you, Canadian Government, if you don't really match the donation!

Red Cross Continues to Assist Disaster Survivors in Myanmar and China


OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 16, 2008) - Canadians continue to support survivors of both Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar and the recent earthquake in China. The response by Canadians to these two disasters has been generous and swift.

The Government of Canada announced on May 15, 2008 that it will match donations of Canadian individuals to humanitarian organizations assisting with the relief efforts in Myanmar and China. Canadian Red Cross is pleased by this announcement and awaits specific details on the program. As soon as information is available, an update will be posted to www.redcross.ca.

Red Cross Response in Myanmar:

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (the Federation) today launched an emergency appeal for approximately $50 million. This appeal replaces the preliminary emergency appeal that was launched on May 6, calling for $6 million.

"Right now, our focus will continue to be on meeting the basic survival needs of survivors - on emergency shelter, distributing relief and working to prevent epidemics," explains Charlie Musoka, emergency operations manager for the Canadian Red Cross. "In the longer-term, we aim to help people to recover, to try and make their communities safer against future disasters, and to strengthen the Myanmar Red Cross and its volunteers."

Emergency relief aid is getting through in increased amounts in Myanmar. A relief pipeline is running effectively given the logistical constraints with 180 tons of Red Cross Red Crescent aid delivered by the end of May 16.

2,000 emergency shelter kits were coordinated by the Canadian Red Cross and sent by the Government on Canada on Wednesday, May 14. The Canadian Red Cross will manage the shipment into the Yangon region and Myanmar Red Cross volunteers will distribute the shelter kits to people in need in the affected areas. These kits will provide shelter for up to 10,000 people.

Total funds received for the Canadian Red Cross Myanmar Cyclone appeal are $1.2 million. This includes more than $1 million donated by generous Canadians and $500,000 from the Government of Canada through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

Red Cross Response in China:

The Federation yesterday launched an emergency appeal for approximately $19 million to support 100,000 survivors in China for at least the next 12 months.

The focus of the appeal is to support the relief efforts of the Chinese Red Cross already underway. The Red Cross Society of China began providing emergency relief assistance immediately following the quake and hundreds of Red Cross volunteers continue to help with rescue and first aid while distributing relief supplies and providing shelter to thousands of people left homeless.

"Immediate relief is vital," says Yunhong Zhang, Asia program manager for the Canadian Red Cross. "But at the same time we need to begin looking beyond this critical phase and towards helping people get back on their feet and rebuilding their lives."

Total funds received for the Canadian Red Cross China Earthquake appeal are $3.1 million. This includes more than $2 million donated by generous Canadians and $1 million from the Government of Canada through CIDA.

Canadians wishing to make a financial donation to either of these appeals may give online at www.redcross.ca, call 1-800-418-1111 or contact their local Canadian Red Cross office. The 24-hour toll free line accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Cheques should be made payable to the Canadian Red Cross, earmarked either "Myanmar Cyclone" or "China Earthquake" and mailed to the Canadian Red Cross National Office, 170 Metcalfe Street, Suite 300, Ottawa, Ontario, K2P 2P2.

心情可以理解，不过国内血浆应该够了。北京的血库已经饱和了，还有人拍着长队鲜血呢。

我也通过Canada Red Cross捐了200, 看了网站上的消息,证实了加国政府配对(Match)捐款. 我想如果Canadian Red Cross 即使不是100%把钱捐到中国去, 但是花费也应该是最低化, 应该是可信的.

为了更加让你信任.
