BEIJING, May 16 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Samsung China and all its
employees share in China's deep grief in the aftermath of the earthquake
which hit Sichuan Province on Monday. We send our heartfelt wishes for the
fast recovery of damaged areas and our hopes that families may be reunited
with their loved ones.
To support relief efforts and help China rapidly recover from the
disaster, Samsung China has committed to the following:
1. Samsung China will donate RMB 30 Million to Sichuan Province through
the International Red Cross.
2. Upon the request of many Samsung employees, in addition to Samsung
China's corporate donation of RMB 30 Million, we are also organizing
a fundraising drive among all Samsung staff. We will determine what
part of the relief effort this additional donation will best support.

donations and other volunteer programs. In addition, Samsung has
already deployed several Beijing-based employees to work closely
with our Sichuan-based staff to support in the examination of vital
home electronics.
