关于捐款的正式说明
通过与四川省民政厅、教育厅的多次沟通，目前四川省教育基金会向我们提供了指定外汇帐号。下周我们将以"牛津大学四川地震捐款委员会"的名义将募捐所得的全部收入（截止5月22日，共募捐得13742.14磅，20欧元，1048.5人民币）捐到该账户，对方提供正式发票和说明，并将在其网站上公布。捐款将主要用于抗震救灾和重建工作，同时我们会将正式发票和对方出具的acknowledgement在我们的捐款网页和facebook上公布。欢迎大家监督。
感谢大家一周以来对我们捐款活动的关注和支持，你们的爱心给予了捐款委员会每位成员巨大的激励和鼓舞，整个捐款活动一直在有条不紊的开展和推进。虽然余震不断，四川政府部门仍然坚持抗战在灾区第一线，他们的工作人员每天工作20小时以上，但是他们仍在百忙之中专门为我们开设外币账户。四川省教育厅副厅长姜树林委托工作人员专门致信向牛津的广大华人学子表示衷心感谢。

A massive relief effort is under way in Beichuan and other areas of China's Sichuan province after Monday's devastating quake.
Rescuers try to help a stranded student out of the debris of a primary school in Mianzhu.
Thousands have been trapped under the rubble.
Dozens of students were killed when the Juyuan Middle School collapsed in Dujiangyan.
This boy was rescued from the rubble of a house in Dujiangyan.
Beijing has deployed tens of thousands of troops to the affected areas to lead the rescue work.
So far, the official death toll is 12,000, but it is expected to go up.
Because of strong aftershocks, people do not want to return to their homes, and are preparing to spend another night in the open, in heavy rain, with no power or water.
Dazed survivors stick to the streets, trying to make sense of the disaster.
