One of the things my company does that makes me very proud is it's involvement in emergency and disaster relief.
DHL has a huge global logistics network and the company has never been shy about using it to help those in need. DHL people also respond in the form of our Disaster Recovery Team (DRT). The DRT consists of a highly organized group of DHL employees who deploy to the disaster region and then distribute food and supplies to those in need in conjunction with local authorities. The US DRT team has deployed for Hurricane Katrina, the earthquake in Peru and other disasters. DHL has other DRT teams in Europe and in Asia to respond on a global basis.
Such is the case in Myanmar and in China. Mercy Corps is a highly respected international aid charity. Based in the UK, Mercy Corps is involved all over the world in assisting our fellow man in need.
DHL assisted Mercy Corps in shipping 9 tons of food and materials to Myanmar on DHL Express aircraft. Additionally, DHL will help stage the goods for distribution in the region from company controlled facilities in southeast Asia.
Mercy Corps is currently accepting donations for humanitarian assistance to both cyclone and earthquake survivors. Mercy Corps and reputable local partner organizations will monitor distribution of donations.
