SCMP Reporter

Yao Ming will donate US$2 million to rebuild schools devastated by last month's Sichuan earthquake.
Yao announced the creation of the Yao Ming Foundation, which will begin with his donation as well as contributions from fellow NBA players including Steve Nash and Greg Oden.
'It is very hard to put into words how difficult it is to see this kind of destruction,' said Yao. 'My thoughts and actions are now focused on helping to rebuild the schools that were destroyed in this tragedy and I hope that others around the world will join in our efforts.'
