Ever since it was launched on January 1, the fund has received more than B$4,000 in cash and hundreds of pieces of clothing donated by its members as well as the public for the surviving victims in the affected countries.

Due to the unexpected response, the fund operation centre will be open seven days a week from 9.00am until 5.00pm daily.

For public convenience, the operation centre is located at the ground floor lobby of the headquarters building in Beribi.

According to a member of PPNBD those who wish to donate cash and clothing may do so by visiting the centre where scout members manning the centre will meet them. Clothing donations will last until January 31, while cash donations can be made till March 31, 2005.
