回馈社区，捐赠医护人员 — 亚特兰大现代中文学校在行动

近日来，亚特兰大地区的医院相继传来医护人员感染新冠病毒和防护物资严重不足的消息， 牵动着每位华人的心。

前段时间我们亚城华人社团积极组织了各种募捐活动用于购买口罩等防护物资支援祖国人民抗击疫情，帮助祖国的亲人共度难关。如今我们生活的家园正在面临新冠病毒的危害，大批医护人员由于缺乏防护物资，正在冒着巨大的被感染风险依然坚守岗位，战斗在抗疫的第一线。

亚特兰大中文学校作为当地重要华人社团并长期得到当地社区支持的教育机构， 理应尽其所能为社区贡献一份力量。几天前ACCA理事会和校务会已经开始行动， 联系医院及当地有口罩现货的供应商，并于2020年3月19日将第一批700个口罩送到位于市区的Grady 医院。 我们又陆续联系了其它医院了解对防护物品的具体需要并在数位家长的帮助下联系到了国内一家具有美国FDA认证的口罩生产厂家，已经洽谈好订购一批N95 口罩，争取10 天到货捐赠给周边医院,预计捐赠共20000只。

近日有家长和老师分别表达了捐赠的意愿，经ACCA理事会和校务会讨论决定，于3/20开始在全校师生范围内并社区开展募捐活动。学校设立了专门用于接受此次捐赠的账户用于购买抗疫物资供给亚特兰大地区的一线抗疫人员。仅第一天收到捐款近万。此账户由学校财务理事、总会计和行政主任共同管理，并秉持公开透明的原则，专款专用，定期向大家说明善款数额、购买物资清单及捐赠去处等信息。

最后以哈佛大学校长的话结束：“没人能预知在后面几个星期我们即将要面临的是什么，但是我们每个人都要懂得COVID-19将考验我们在危机时刻所显示的超脱于自我的善良和慷慨。我们的任务是在这个非我所愿的复杂混沌的时刻，展示自己最好的品格和行为。愿我们与智慧和风度同行！”

愿所有人都健康平安！

Please Join ACCA to Support Local Hospitals and MedicalWorkers

Dearest parents, teachers, and students of ACCA

First of all, we hope everyone is safe during this difficult period as COVID-19 pandemic continues spreading in our community. As you might be aware, several hospitals and medical centers in Greater Atlanta have reported shortage of medical protective supplies. This is very concerning as those who are working hard to save our lives will be at risk without proper protection. It is not long ago when the same shortage was prevailing in China and Atlanta Chinese community made our best efforts organizing donation and arranging shipment of medical supplies to support our home country. Now the community where we live, work, and count on everyday is faced with the same problem and it is our responsibilities to do what we can.

As the largest local Chinese education organization, ACCA received countless community support in the past. We feel obligated to give back and would like to ask you all join our efforts to help local medical workers, nurses, and doctors. Our efforts started a few days ago via contacting local hospitals and medical suppliers. On March 19, we delivered the first batch of 700 masks to Grady Hospital and our effort was deeply appreciated. Now we have a better understanding of what the hospitals/medical centers are facing shortage of. We are also very grateful as one of our parents helped secure an FDA certified Chinese manufacturer to provide quality supply of N95 masks. We will place a bulk order and estimate the shipment to arrive within 10 days.

To make our impact bigger and more meaningful, we need your help! A lot of parents and teachers have expressed interest in donation to support this effort. ACCA board and administrative team have discussed and decided to establish a special bank account dedicated to this effort, which is subject to the joint supervision of board, General Accountant, and the Administrative Director. All donation will be dedicated only to purchase of medical protective wear for the frontline medical staff in Greater Atlanta area. Details of donation, purchase, and beneficiaries will be published publicly for full transparency. If you have information about hospital needs or suppliers, please share with us! We also appreciate it if you help spread the words to those potential interested in supporting our efforts. The more participate, the more doctors and nurses will benefit.
