Funds flood in, thanks to Ice Bucket Challenge

Protesters buck ice bucket trend

With the ice bucket challenge trending across China, people in a severe drought-hit area in Central China's Henan province stood out against the mania with empty buckets and containers, shouting “We want water” in front of a statue of Buddha. Henan is experiencing its worst drought since 1951.

Protesters asked people to use sensible means to help patients of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The Ice Bucket Challenge was initiated to raise funds for ALS research.
