Super Typhoon “Ramason” severely damaged Haikou City and Hainan Island, please help! Under the news coverage of the Malaysia Airlines International Flight Crash and the Gaza Corridor crisis last week, there was very little news about Scottsdale’s sister city, Haikou City and Hainan Island being seriously affected by Super Typhoon “Ramason”. After we learned about the severe damage in Haikou, we immediately decided to launch a fundraising operation. The Red Cross made a mistake in providing quilts to the victims in midsummer, and the government's emergency relief was belated. The people of Haikou and Hainan were left with devastation after the violent storm, and they still had to rely on themselves. The following URL links are domestic and foreign reports on the disaster: 1. http://english.cntv.cn/2014/07/20/VIDE1405862639838477.shtml 2. http://hudongba.mobi/article/nto2?h_share_uid=&from=timeline&isappinstalled=0 3. http://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MzA4Mzc5ODgzMA==&mid=200768252&idx=1&sn=3a29d5226806f355082054a9e38b50ab&scene=2&from=timeline&isappinstalled=0#rd 4. http://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MzA5NjgwMjMzMw==&mid=200479960&idx=1&sn=3ba2340d7e4e81f78a1d436377a4253e&scene=2&from=timeline&isappinstalled=0#rd Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane We have provided condolences and support as soon as possible. The Scottsdale Sister Cities Association hopes to provide the most direct help as soon as possible. After asking our friends in Haikou, we decided to give the amount raised for disaster relief directly to Haikou People's Hospital. Although the hospital was hit by the typhoon and the disaster was serious, it still continued to provide medical needs for the helpless and injured victims. Please give full play to the spirit of "when others are hungry, they are hungry, and when others are drowning, they are drowning" and provide substantial help.
