(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-10-29 02:06 A charity forum opened Wednesday in Southwest China's Sichuan province that is still recovering from a devastating earthquake last year. More than 300 representatives from charity organizations and business from around the world would discuss the role they can play in combating major disasters, relief work and post-disaster rebuilding in the two-day event held in Suining city.
"I believe the forum can help improve the social support for charity cause," said Liu Guolin, secretary-general of the China Charity Federation. Public donations and charity organizations have played an important role in the post-quake rebuilding of Sichuan. |
