Staff employed by the Chinese Central Government in Macao are actively donating money to victims of tsunami-devastated countries through the Macao Red Cross.

Officials in the Red Cross say they have raised nearly 900 thousand U.S. dollars from the local governmental institutions, organizations and residents.

Some of the money has been sent to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

The Macao Red Cross will send more money and appoint personnel to join the relief work in the tsunami-hit countries around the India Ocean.
