Hi, Pei Zhang Hao.
The consensus is that making financial donation is the best way to help at this moment. We can also ask our colleagues for contribution to make this more effective. I have drafted the following short message to be sent out by my company to all Houston area employees. We selected Hong Kong Red Cross because it is closer to China and the online form is easy to use.
In the long run, we can consider contributing to some educational fund for children affected by the disaster.

=========================
On Monday May 12, Sichuan Province, China was struck by a massive 7.9 Richter Earthquake. As of today, more than 15,000 people have perished and more than 30,000 are still missing, and the lives of millions of people have been changed forever. Many of the victims are school children who were in class at the time and were buried under the rubble of collapsed buildings. The sad faces of parents grieving for the loss of their only child is unbearable to watch. Because of the wide spread destruction of road and infrastructure, rescue efforts have been slow despite the full-out effort by the Chinese government and the people of Sichuan. The victims are in increasingly dire situation and in desperate need of food, water, medicine, cloths and shelter.
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this disaster. Many of our colleagues have also expressed their sympathy and concern towards the people impacted by the earthquake. If you would like to help to support the immediate disaster relief effort and to help the thousands of survivors who have lost their homes and loved ones from this catastrophic event, the best way is to make financial donations in whatever amount you can. Here is the link to Red Cross Hong Kong that have set up special Sichuan Earthquake Fund:
