Emirates has pledged support to the SmileAngel Foundation to provide meals for children and their families during their charity parent-child summer camp, which included 20 children with cleft lip and palate conditions, along with eight children from volunteering families. Emirates has provisioned for 1440 meals to be provided for more than 40 people at the camp which started on July 31 and will run until August 11, in Beijing. The meals have been carefully selected for their nutritional benefits to support the children’s wellbeing.
Statement
Adam Li, Emirates’ vice president in China, commented: Emirates’ commitment to China doesn’t stop at providing world-class onboard and on-ground experiences, we also believe in the power of giving back by supporting community outreach efforts that drive positive change. The SmileAngel Foundation has been making a tremendous progress in offering support for children born with clefts, and we’re proud to establish this partnership with the foundation and contribute to their ongoing efforts that align with our core values.”
Hu Man, executive director of SmileAngel Foundation added: "This year marks the 11th Charity Parent-Child Summer Camp of SmileAngel Foundation. On behalf of SmileAngel Foundation and the children and parents participating in this event, I extend our heartfelt thanks to Emirates for this support. As the Foundation continues to expand our activities, we believe that more attention and support will be received by children with cleft lip and palate in need of help.”
