After donating 120,000 3M(TM)N95 Particulate Respirators to the Sichuan earthquake disaster area, 3M Hong Kong immediately initiated a fund raising campaign for all its staff
members. |
|
The 3M Hong Kong office will match its employees' contributions.
The most recent donation amount reached HK$216,000. This money will go to
Hong Kong Red Cross to support the disaster area rescue effort and to
prevent the spread of the potential epidemic.
The earthquake left more than 30,000 people dead; thousands more were
injured. The earthquake caused |
|
|
innumerable houses to collapse, disrupted
the electric power grid and the drinking water supply, and blocked
communications by damaging communication facilities. The epidemic will
momentarily erupt.
3M Hong Kong hopes that the company's donations can help victims to
overcome incredible challenges and to rebuild their homeland soon.
