Nearly 15,000 people died in the devastating earthquake that hit China's Sichuan province, the official Xinhua news agency has reported.

More than 25,000 are still trapped in the rubble two days after the 7.9 quake struck, flattening homes, schools and entire villages and cutting roads.

We are still having trouble contacting two of our artists from the Sichuan Province. Here at Galleria Pangea, we are praying for them and all the other people suffering from the earthquake.

Here are two ways we can donate and help the people in need.

Red Cross Society of China

Mercy Corps (U.S.)

We just attended our first trade show. We were at Tampa attending the 2008 MSA (Museum Store Association) Expo. Now Galleria Pangea is the proud supplier of The British Museum Education Program, Denver Art Museum Gift Shop and a few botanical gardens throughout the US.

Here is a picture of our booth.
