Carnival Australia, Virgin
Australia and Virgin Atlantic Cargo
have joined forces with charitable
firm Soles4Souls to initiate a shoe
and clothing drive for Vanuatu.
The partnership will see more
than 10,000 shirts, shorts & skirts
distributed to those affected by
Cyclone Pam, which struck in Mar.
More than 20,580 pairs of
thongs (flip-flops) will also be
distributed, with CAU and VA to
carry the cargo onboard ships and
planes as part of regular services.
“It’s a simple idea and a
good one that will be greatly
appreciated by the people of
Vanuatu many of whom lost
everything in the cyclone disaster,”
CAU chief exec Ann Sherry said.
MEANWHILE, through its nine
brands, Carnival Corp in the US
has donated US$200,000 to assist
in relief from the earthquake
in Nepal – money which will be
spent on food, water and hygiene.
