If anyone has date/time/place for donating blood in Beijing or Guangzhou, please share. Thanks.

Please. Respect the deceased. Don't post the pictures of their bodies when they are not covered.
为吾国吾民默哀......
Adam, they're asking for blood donations only in the affected areas, and requesting funds from everywhere else.
Okay, I was wrong. They are asking for blood donation elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find the addresses of the Red Cross DP centers in PEK and GUZ because I can't get on the Ch Red Cross site. I'm sorry. May be best to ask someone there to look them up in a directory.
