John Barnes, Director of Marga Group, said, “The Marga Community Care initiative cultivates the spirit of giving, sharing and community engagement amongst our international and local staff. Especially in the face of natural disaster, we should all get together and act responsively to help those in need. Marga is here to do good to the country which we have always been doing, and we will continue to do more.”
