Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan is Patron and Honorary Chair of LSN, Advisor to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), a member of the Advisory Boards of Adopt-a-Minefield and Marshall Legacy Institute as well as a Patron of the Mineseeker Foundation. She has been a long-term supporter of international efforts to ban landmines since the late 1970’s. Queen Noor was inspired by the humanitarian contribution of Princess Diana, and in 1997 she also became a patron of LSN at the request of founders Ken Rutherford and Jerry White. Some say that Queen Noor took on Princess Diana’s efforts to draw attention to the landmine situation and advocate the landmine ban and, just like the late Princess of Wales, Queen Noor is bringing much needed attention to the issue. In October 1999, Queen Noor accompanied LSN to Vietnam and Cambodia to witness first hand the landmine problems in these countries.

chard Branson’s Charity Work, Events and Causes, Charity biography

Branson has pledged to commit $3 billion, all profits from his travel firms over the next ten years, to the reduction of global warming. He has previously donated to educational charities in Africa. Branson started his first charity, “Student Valley Centre”, when he was only 17. Richard is Patron of the International Rescue Corps. In 2007, Branson formed The Elders – a small, dedicated group of leaders, working objectively and without any vested personal interest to solve difficult global conflicts – with Peter Gabriel, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Kofi Annan, and Jimmy Carter.

In March 2008, he hosted an environmental gathering with Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales, and Larry Page of Google at his private island in the Caribbean to discuss global warming-related problems facing the world.

When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, Richard Branson organized to fly 40,000 blankets to refugees fleeing into Jordan. He single-handedly had to fight with Government ministers to make sure the supplies got to those who needed them.

In 2004 he set up Virgin Unite to encourage all of his staff around the world to tackle tough social problems. He persuaded Elton John to sing Candle In The Wind at the funeral of Princess Diana – which eventually raised $40 million for charity.

Sir Richard Branson: “Something needs to be done to bring mine action back into the media spotlight. The Mineseeker Foundation and its patrons, I am sure, could make a huge difference, both raising the profile of de-mining efforts around the world, and in helping global communities to social and economic stability.”
