耶鲁烛光祈福之夜

－ 沉痛哀悼四川汶川地震遇难同胞
Yale ACSSY

2008年5月12日，一个中国人无法忘记的日子，一个噩梦般夺走数万同胞生命的日子。7.8级强烈地震，摧毁了汶川、映秀、北川、绵阳等地，掩埋了多少稚子、学童、男女、老弱……

在国内，政府、军队和人民正共同抗震救灾，众志成城；在国外，我们热泪盈眶，心系灾区，慷慨解囊。可是，仍然有那么多人远去了，瓦砾中蜷缩的小小身躯，残桓下渐渐熄灭的最后眷恋，废墟外痛哭欲狂的至爱亲朋……不光灼痛了我们的眼，也灼痛了我们的心。

这样的悲痛我们无法替她们分担，就让我们相聚在一起，请参与到Yale ACSSY发起的烛光祈福之夜中，愿烛光点燃生还者的康复希望，用烛光照亮逝者此去天国的路。

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

注意事项：
1. 请尽量自己携带蜡烛、打火机或火柴（ACSSY将提供部分）；
2. 出席人员请着黑色或深色衣服；
3. 现场接受现金和支票捐款。

“It seems to me you lived your life, like a candle in the wind
Goodbye, may you ever grow in our hearts”    -- Elton John

(这是我的朋友蕾自己在家里后院阳台上摆的心型图案的蜡烛,
她说: "希望为死者点亮通往天堂的路，为生者点亮生命的曙光！
为剩下的2008祈福，希望剩下的日子风调雨顺！")
