Currently, all institutes and organizations participate in relief activities consecutively by different means and common citizens also contribute money in succession to jointly dedicate love to Sichuan quake-hit areas. Recently, apart from some businessmen’s donations, more than one hundred entertainers also took part in donation programs and collected HK$200m.
