DRAGONAIR FLIES URGENT CHARITY SHIPMENT TO NEPAL

Dragonair has flown a shipment of winter clothes collected by the Crossroads International charity in Hong Kong to Kathmandu, Nepal, where it is urgently needed by the Esther Benjamin Foundation for babies and young children.

“We have supported the work of Crossroads International in the past and were pleased to be able to help them this time when we received this urgent request,” said Laura Crampton, Dragonair’s Corporate Communication Manager.

The shipment of 13 cartons contain warm clothes suitable for Nepali winters donated to Crossroads International. The charity, run by Malcolm and Sally Begbie, takes quality superseded goods and redistributes them to people in need locally and internationally.

“We rely on the support of companies in our community and we appreciate Dragonair’s help in getting this shipment to Nepal so quickly,” explained Malcolm Begbie. The Esther Benjamins Trust cares for children whose parents are incarcerated. The Trust will distribute the clothing among these needy babies and children, together with further family members and others in need.
