By J. Brock (FINN)
Standard Chartered Bank in Stanley as well as branches in 56 other countries sponsors a world-wide charity called “Seeing is Believing” and, indeed the March Marathon was a big fundraiser for it. Another chance to help the charity comes up on Thursday, 13 October 2005. The bank in Stanley will have a special counter set up to take money for the charity as well as showing a documentary and a specially made video.
According to the BBC World Website, the documentary being shown at the Bank on their new plasma screen in the banking hall will be hosted by former Prime Minister, Sir John Major, who is now an Ambassador for Vision 2020.
It is a Standard Chartered Bank goal to help restore sight to 1 million people, so did deep everyone.
