Anyone know of a link to a donation page? I haven't been able to find any and would like one to forward on to friends and colleagues.

Someone from CNN has just reached me through the British Go Association because he spotted this message on Dimsum.

He was asking for a fund raiser for the China earthquake.

Unfortunately, I am not well connected, so I would not make a good fund raiser, and I refered him to contact editor@dimsum.co.uk
