Telenor has made a donation of rupees two million to support the cause of helping out cancer patients. "Telenor Pakistan is the part of Pakistan and we are inseparable from the local communities. Through initiatives like Shaukat Memorial Khanum Trust's fundraiser, we will extend our hands in assistance," said Telenor Chief Executive Officer Tore Johnsen at a fundraising function held at the SKMTH.
Tore congratulated the SKMTH management and the philanthropists for arranging an activity. Celebrity movie star Elizabeth Hurley supported the event through her presence.
Commenting on his organisation's involvement with the earthquake relief efforts, Tore said: "The company activated itself to help the earthquake survivors within hours of the most recent earthquake tragedy."
Telenor employees led the initiative by setting up stalls at the emergency sites providing free communication services to relief workers and affected families. The management chipped in with an emergency relief package of Rs 65 million to go to the Red Cross and President's Earthquake Relief Fund.
Additional contributions from the Telenor group of companies world-wide added another Rs 30 million worth of goods and foodstuff.
