Efforts Through The Web
By Carla Balattan, Thu Dec 8th
It’s quite a relief to witness active and valiant efforts tohelp out North on a particularly devastating incident thathappened on April 22, 2004. These efforts to extend a helpinghand were even projected over the web. It is a relief, sinceNorth has been the target of many attacks for the past fewyears after the civil war that created the two borders overKorea. The incident that came about on April 22 was the explosion of atrain loaded with ammonium nitrate fertilizer and tank wagonswhich obliterated the entire area within a half–mile radius.When the launching of the relief project was projected online onMay 2, 2004 athttp://nkzone.typepad.com/nkzone/2004/05/links_ryongchon.html,the deaths already totaled to 161 and it is reported thatthousands were burned, blind and/or deaf that lie on cabinetswithout even the most basic medical supplies. According to the reports, most of the victims were schoolchildren (over 60% of those who died) and over 2,000 home havebeen completely destroyed. This incident became the firstopportunity of LiNK website to organize all of its chapters andlaunch their first major independent initiative – “ TheRyongchon Relief Project”. Another thing that prompted them toact was because the Korean Red Cross was granted permission bythe North Korean government to transport medical and foodsupplies directly to North Korea.
As such, the
LiNK did not waste time on getting the attentionover the North blog-zone to request donations addressed topharmaceutical companies, local hospitals, drug stores,university labs and even compassionate individuals. For thoseinterested to send out their donations, they can be coursed viathe Korean Red Cross to Ryongchon, directly. Phases are programmed in the revival of the Ryongchon area –from emergency phase, they are now into the stabilization phase.For each of this phase, different things are needed. They hadparticularly listed down the things that are specifically neededso that even individuals or other civic organizations wouldreally know what they could do to contribute even a bit: medicalsupplies like ointments, antibiotics, antiseptics, bandages,Vaseline, IV fluid, and other treatments to help in theinjuries. They also encourage monetary donations for purchase ofother medical supplies through Paypal.com. Ways of shipping location and methods are also elaborated sothat people will know how to send their contribution without itbeing wasted on other pockets. This relief project only shows how much the web site couldreally help out in promoting humanitarian projects allthroughout the globe. This is one of the nice and positivethings about the technology offered by the web development, now,if only web users would just concern themselves with these kindsof projects – helping others out.
