Yao Ming Foundation's Public Service Announcement

The Yao Ming Foundation was established in June of 2008 by international NBA Star Yao Ming in response to the devastating 8.0 earthquake in Sichuan Province, China on May 12, 2008. An 8.0 earthquake is the equivalent to energy released from 790 nuclear bombs. More than 8,000 schoolrooms and 185 schools were destroyed during the earthquake.

The Yao Ming Foundation has so far committed to rebuilding five schools in the earthquake region. The new earthquake resistant schools will provide top level education for more than 1000 students, many of whom will also board at the schools.

since when is bad t help a fellow country out. hell, maybe there should be more kindness around the world for a change.

I don't see why the US should help China. China's economy is doing better than the US, plus US has their own problems.
