 HealthMegaMall, a U.S.-based
online pharmacy, has donated approximately one tenth of its annual payroll
to aid Mongolian orphans.
This contribution will help
some orphanages repair their facilities and purchase much needed furniture,
medicine and medical equipment.
According to company officials,
the staff of HealthMegaMall.com were motivated by a photograph of three
orphans gazing out of the broken window of an orphanage. Winter night
temperatures often drop to minus forty degrees and are a real threat
to the health and survival of children living in Mongolia. HealthMegaMall
responded by making a cash donation to help improve their living conditions.
In a statement the company
said, "HealthMegaMall was founded with a simple philosophy: we
deserve a profit only if our activities serve the good of the world.
This charitable act is a natural response in keeping with our corporate
philosophy."
