Donation: I went to the earthquake zone (Qing Chuan, Si Chuan, China) in this summer to help setting up an emergency wireless network for the rescue teams using WiFi mesh (Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3, Pic 4, Pic 5, Pic 6, and Pic 7). During my stay, I was deeply shocked and distressed by the aftermath of the devastating earthquake. Please help those people who are still suffering through Chinese Red Cross Foundation. |
