TAP Victoria for a better world
This Christmas, the TAP Victoria Programme has again linked up with humanitarian and charitable institutions, inviting the programme's members to donate miles to the Portuguese Red Cross, AMI (International Medical Assistance) and Terra dos Sonhos (“Land of Dreams”). This year, the initiative is joining forces with some new partner institutions - Helpin and in Brazil, the Street Child’s World Cup.Over 6.5 million miles were donated by TAP Victoria members in 2008, contributing towards a range of aid and charitable projects and towards sending volunteers from non-governmental organizations to various locations in need of humanitarian assistance.
You can donate miles until 28 February 2010 at the TAP Victoria Programme website, at www.tapvictoria.com.
