We make tents. So, in the wake of the terrible earthquake in Sichuan, China, it's only natural that we should send tents to help house those left homeless by the quake. On June 2nd, 2008, 628 two- and three-person tents arrived in China. The UPS Foundation paid for the shipment. In total, the UPS Foundation moved 125,216 pounds of donated supplies.

On a related note, the Chinese government has seized control of all Chinese-owned tent factories and all existing inventory in the country, and is redirecting production and resources towards disaster relief. Read about it on Snewsnet.com.

I am writing this note to express my personal gratitude as well as the gratitude of the people of China to you and for the effort you've made to help the quake-hit areas in China.
