NAPVS Donates Funds to Assist the People of
China and Myanmar
The National Association of Passport and Visa Services
and its members are supporting the aid efforts for the
people of China and Myanmar suffering from the recent
natural disasters that afflicted these countries. NAPVS
is donating these funds to assist in the critical recovery
efforts and to help the people of these countries know
that citizens in the United States care about their
plight and welfare.
- Some members are making their own direct donations,
and others have donated through the NAPVS. NAPVS donations
were contributed to the American Red Cross China Earthquake
Relief Fund and to Save the Children for relief efforts
in Myanmar.
NAPVS urges all travel related businesses to donate
to these and other relief funds that will assist in
the recovery efforts in both countries.
