Learn It Use It [LIUI] **// "Chance favors the prepared mind." - Louis Pasteur // ** Group Members: ** [|Dianna], [|Mengxin], and [|Tina] Think of all the possessions you own. Think of all your loved ones. Think of this comfort, the luxury you live in. And then, imagine it all ripped from you in one fell swoop. Millions of people all over the world experience the devastation of these losses; they live in despair, and bear no hope of ever rejuvenating their souls, or renovating their lives. Their minds reside in a deep, dark pit; they haven’t even the will to try and climb out. Obviously, we cannot prevent the root of the problem: hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. What we can do is try to lessen their effect. We've decided to focus on the Sichuan province in China, as it lies in the middle of two major crustal plates and experiences frequent earthquakes. The recent earthquake in Sichuan last year, along with its numerous aftershocks, killed more than 69,000 people and destroyed more than 7,000 schoolrooms. We aim to provide quality earthquake education to elementary and middle school children in rural areas, having faith in that with an organized safety procedure, the fatality rate will decrease significantly. Also, we hope that by doing this, children and parents alike will be reassured by the fact that they are as prepared as they can possibly be for future emergencies. You never really appreciate the little things you have until you’ve lost everything. Those who have been struck by natural disasters have first-hand experience of this. We’ve come to understand it as well, and that’s why we strive to prevent any more innocents from falling into the dark pit of hopelessness.
