As most people have likely heard, as of today the death toll in China has passed 65,000. Those kinds of numbers are inconceivable to me, and the photographs are devastating.
The Chinese government is working hard to reunite families, and is working to expedite local adoption of children orphaned by the earthquake. I am impressed that the government is trying to provide not only food and shelter but also counseling to the people affected.
According to updates on Half the Sky, it appears that the children in the majority of the orphanages in the region are safe with many now living in tents. I wish the children in the schools had been so lucky.
