Asiana's 'Change for Good' reaches $4.2 M for UNICEF
MANILA, Philippines - Multi-awarded Asiana Airlines (OZ) recently turned over $4.2 million (5 billion won) worth of donations to UNICEF as part of its Change for Good campaign. Under the donation program, passengers are asked if they would like to donate change in any currency at the end of their flight. Asiana has been successfully holding the program since 1994. This year, the donation will go to a UNICEF program to build wells in African communities suffering from water shortage. The donation box uses the Well of Love imagery to symbolize where donations would go.
