ALTADIS U.S.A. EMPLOYEES IN HONDURAS RAISE FUNDS FOR HAITI’S
EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS
Having endured more than their own fair share of natural disasters,
the workers at La Flor de Copan, Altadis U.S.A.’s acclaimed cigar
factory in Honduras, have come together to contribute thousands of
dollars of their hard-earned incomes to benefit Haiti’s earthquake
victims.
“We are extremely proud of our Honduras employees and touched by their
generosity,” said an Altadis U.S.A. spokesperson. “These are very
dedicated people who work hard for what they have.”
The monies raised in Honduras will be matched by the Montecristo Relief
Organization as part of its donationmatching program, with the goal
of contributing over $250,000 to aid the victims of this latest disaster.
All funds are going directly to Food for the Poor, which is providing
immediate as well as ongoing relief to those in desperate need.
Altadis U.S.A. founded the Montecristo Relief Organization in 1999
following two monster hurricanes that devastated much of the Caribbean.
To date, the Organization has contributed millions to the building
of homes, schools and medical facilities and provided scholarships
and economic opportunities in affected areas.
