DHL has decided that August 6 to August 10 of each year will be DHL Volunteer Day, during which DHL staff will participate in various social public welfare undertakings.
For 2008, August 11 was the day. Featuring "Small Bags, Big Future — DHL Love Initiative", more than 400 volunteers from DHL branches have collected about 10,000 school supplies for children in earthquake-stricken areas.
This initiative is a three-year program set up jointly by DHL and China Children and Teenagers' Fund, planning to contribute 30,000 bags full of school supplies to students in underprivileged areas of China in three years. DHL together with CCTF and some celebrities will go to quake areas to deliver school bags and extracurricular books to students here.
