PepsiCo adds fizz to charity appeal

PepsiCo Greater China launched its annual New Year charity campaign - Postal Parcels for Mothers - on Saturday and delivered parcels to poverty-stricken women at Longchang village, Mashan county, one of the poorer areas of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

"I guess it is a quilt as the weather is growing cold," said Tang Meihua, a 43-year-old villager who looks after five children.

Almost 1,000 women in the village received the same parcel valued at 200 yuan ($30) which contained blankets, gloves and hats.
