The SAQUAKE.ORG alliance is planning a nation-wide vigil on November 8, the anniversary of the earthquake to remember more then eighty-thousand people who lost their life and more then three million people who lost everything but there life.
The Alliance asks every member of the community to participate in the vigil to show solidarity and more importantly to create awareness for all those children who have survived yet are dieing because of the inadequate donations and participation from the developed countries.
