Default Helping the tea farmers and tea workers of the Pu-er region - post major earthquake

As pu-er drinkers, we can help those who are in need and enhance our
lives with tea:
The June 4th earthquake in the Pu-er region has left 180,000+
homeless. Lives have been lost.
More than half the labor force are in the tea production business.
There is no water available. The farms are without irrigation and
farmers are in fear disease because of raw sewerage and mosquitoes.
Donations are being solicited for the Pu-er area by the Red Cross
Society of China -Shanghai, Kunming and Hong Kong offices and Oxfam.
ReliefNet is putting recovery information together:

There is an immediate need for tents, quilts and money.
Please help.
