Since the earthquake occurred in Haiti on January 12, the Chinese community has started the fundraising campaign for those unfortunates in the island currently.
The United Calgary Chinese Association (UCCA) and the Calgary Chinese Community Service Association (CCCSA) are holding this drive in the Chinese community.
According to the Volunteer & Program Coordinator of CCCSA David Tam said, the total collected funds from this event will be sent to the Red Cross in Alberta, after the affair is over on February 8.
There are also a few other community associations and charitable organizations such as the Alberta Chinese Community Congress and World Vision are doing the fundraising drive at this moment, to support those unlucky Haitians.
