****NEW DATE**** 10 JUNE 2007 - SUNDAY LUNCH EVENT ****

Giving Hope has been formed by some British Airways employees dedicated to providing aid and assistance to survivors of the South East Asia Earthquake.

We are working with agencies including SOS Children's Villages, UNICEF, Muslim Hands International, Islamic Relief, and others to help rebuild the lives and livelihoods of those who have suffered from this tragedy.  We are working together with, and are supported by, British Airways.

Successes so far include:

• Nearly £90,000 raised in total for earthquake victims.
   

• Over 120 tonnes of relief supplies distributed in SE Asia earthquake areas with partners.
   

• £500,000 announced by Willie Walsh (CEO, British Airways) for construction of eleven schools in quake affected areas.
   

• SOS Children's Villages have started building two Giving Hope orphan homes in Pakistan.
   

• £250,00 worth of stationary donated by Virgin Megastores distributed to educational facilities in poorest areas
