Heifer International has learned that no projects or participant families were injured or affected by the magnitude 6.9 earthquake that struck a far western Tibetan area of China on Wednesday.
Chen Taiyong, Heifer International China country program director, reported that Heifer had worked on a rehabilitation project in the area in the late 1990s after the region was struck by a devastating blizzard, but that there are currently no active projects, partners or staff in the area.
