Tsinghua teachers and students are actively donating money to tsunami-hit Asian countries.
On the morning of January 4, volunteers of Tsinghua Zijing Student Dormitory set up a donation box in front of the No.10 dining room. Many students passing by gave cash to the victims of the disaster, which has claimed at least 150,000 lives.
President Gu Binglin, Wang Dazhong, Honorary President of Tsinghua University Council Wang Dazhong, and Vice President Zhang Fengchang joined teachers and staff in the afternoon to make contributions.
Considering the devastation caused by the tsunami in southeast and south Asia , special working groups have been formed in Tsinghua to oversee the donation drive, which will continue until Jan. 10.
