In the event of the harrowing earthquakes in Sichuan, Mother Bridge of Love (MBL) has decided to raise funds for the children who suffered in the earthquakes through our 17th May event previously planned for our Kungfu Panda - Edinburgh Marathon Relay Team.

Now our charity Dim Sum event is open for ALL who cares about the China and loves our Children.

Time: 1-4pm, 17 May, Saturday
Venue: Confucius Institute, Edinburgh University. (location and map below)
Programme:

• Consul Li Li Bei from Chinese Consulate General gives speech on the current state of the rescue and relief work in Sichuan and how we can offer more help from the UK.
• Chinese art gallery Ricefield will bring us several original prints by the renowned woodblock artist Professor Xiang Silou from Sichuan Normal University. These woodblock prints will be auctioned to raise funds for more donations.
• MBL CEO Wendy Wu thanks note.

Please feel free to come and join us in the effort for helping the sufferring children in Sichuan. If you are not able to come along to the event and if you’d like to make a donation or make a bid for Professor Xiang Silou’s artwork, please go to this website:
