The staff of TNT Express Hong Kong, together with television star Myolie Wu and a group of volunteers, participated in the recent annual sale of rice packets for Oxfam's China Development Fund Campaign 2007 to raise HK$2.4 million (US$306,768) this year to help fight poverty in China.
The Oxfam China Development Fund was established in 1992 aimed at alleviating poverty and providing emergency relief in mainland China through organising integrated community development support.
This is the third year TNT has sponsored the Fund's annual Hong Kong Rice Selling Event. The express company arranged for the resources and staff to transport and distribute 38,385 rice packets amounting to nearly four tonnes.
"We're delighted to continue offering logistics support to Oxfam's China Development Fund Campaign," said Ambrose Linn, managing director of TNT Hong Kong.
TNT has been an active partner of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) since 2002, and has committed its knowledge, skills and resources to help WFP tackle the greatest logistics challenge of all: fighting world hunger, a company statement explained. |
