Dear Friends:

  On April 28th (Sun), 1996, Buddhist Tzu-Chi Foundation, Pittsburgh
Chapter, and University Chinese Club of Pittsburgh will hold a Bone
Marrow Donor Program to establish the Chinese-oriented bone marrow
database.  Your willingness to announce this event to campus will help
CMU people aware its meaning, and encourage Chinese-oriented people to
participate.  We sincerely thank you if you are willing to help us to
distribute this message.

  Tzu-Chi Foundation, established 25 years ago in Taiwan, is now a
worldwide organization.  People of Tzu-Chi raised the Bone-Marrow
campaign about two years ago because of a dying Chinese graduate student
in USA, who was not able to be matched on any USA donor databases. 
After the effort of just two years, this Chinese database is now the
largest Asia bone marrow database, with more than 110,000 people willing
to donate.  I was told 7 patients have been matched so far.  However,
more than 30 cases are reported every year, and bone marrow
transplantation is their only chance to survive.  This program will be
held on 4/28(SUn) from 10am to noon at Mellon Institute Social room,
including seminar, questions & answers, and blood testing.  Refreshments
will also be served.  The expensive test fee is sponsored by Tzu-Chi
Foundation.

  If you are interested to know more about Tzu-Chi or need more
information about this activity, please feel free to contact John
Chen(221-8318), Peng Huang (x2-2090) or me (x8-3457).  Many thanks again.

Sincerely,

Yuh-Hai Wang
