耶魯燭光祈福之夜

－ 沉痛哀悼四川汶川地震遇難同胞
Yale ACSSY

2008年5月12日，一個中國人無法忘記的日子，一個噩夢般奪走數萬同胞生命的日子。7.8級強烈地震，摧毀了汶川、映秀、北川、綿陽等地，掩埋了多少稚子、學童、男女、老弱……

在國內，政府、軍隊和人民正共同抗震救災，眾誌成城；在國外，我們熱淚盈眶，心係災區，慷慨解囊。可是，仍然有那麽多人遠去了，瓦礫中蜷縮的小小身軀，殘桓下漸漸熄滅的最後眷戀，廢墟外痛哭欲狂的至愛親朋……不光灼痛了我們的眼，也灼痛了我們的心。

這樣的悲痛我們無法替她們分擔，就讓我們相聚在一起，請參與到Yale ACSSY發起的燭光祈福之夜中，願燭光點燃生還者的康複希望，用燭光照亮逝者此去天國的路。

時間：8:00pm－10:00pm
地點：Cross Campus lawn, Yale University (in front of Sterling Memorial Library).

注意事項：
1. 請盡量自己攜帶蠟燭、打火機或火柴（ACSSY將提供部分）；
2. 出席人員請著黑色或深色衣服；
3. 現場接受現金和支票捐款。

Goodbye, may you ever grow in our hearts”    -- Elton John

(這是我的朋友蕾自己在家裏後院陽台上擺的心型圖案的蠟燭,
她說: "希望為死者點亮通往天堂的路，為生者點亮生命的曙光！
為剩下的2008祈福，希望剩下的日子風調雨順！")
