According to Mr. Max Yang, CEO, Huawei India, "The huge loss of life and property
has struck a chord with many Huawei employees in India. We have colleagues here in
India who have friends and family back in China that are affected by the earthquake
and we decided that we would do all we could to help in whatever way we possible.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this earthquake".

He adds, "The response from Huawei's employees in India has been amazing and we're
proud to have raised so much money in such a short period of time. This
contribution will add the growing world-wide support as there is a large-scale need
for support in terms of food, medicine and shelter.
