Hewlett-Packard Company Foundation Commits $250,000 to World Food Programme for Relief Efforts in Myanmar (Burma)

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
The Hewlett-Packard Company Foundation today announced it has
committed $250,000 to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP)
for aid in the disaster relief efforts in Myanmar (Burma).

HP (NYSE:HPQ) and its employees around the world have been deeply
moved by the devastating impact of Cyclone Nargis on the hundreds of
thousands of innocent citizens in communities in southern Myanmar.

The HP Company Foundation contribution comes on the heels of an
urgent request by the WFP (www.wfp.org), one of only two relief
agencies operating in the country, to assist them in their efforts to
help the victims of the storm.

To effectively meet the enormous challenge of bringing in the
food, equipment and supplies to those affected by Cyclone Nargis, HP
urges other companies and individuals to contribute to the disaster
relief efforts.
