The Macau branch of the Red Cross yesterday received MOP500,000 from gaming operator MGM Macau, culminating in a total amount of over MOP2.3 million to aid Nepal’s earthquake relief efforts.
The organization’s chairman, Mr Eddie Wong said the donations that have been received by the Red Cross following the natural disaster are smaller than on previous campaigns, as quoted by TDM.
According to Wong, the funds were mostly donated by individuals, whereas the organization has dispatched 20 rescue personnel to assist in the affected areas.
Also yesterday, representatives of several
Nepalese security guards working at MGM China – along with the company’s CEO Grant Bowie – handed over a donation to the Macau Red Cross, hoping to make a difference in Nepal for those in need.
The funds were raised in an internal fundraiser within the company, with the resolve to aid victims and helping rebuild homes and communities in Nepal.
