PESHAWAR, Jan 3: The Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child (Sparc) has established a fund to assist tsunami victims.

The proceeds would be shared with the National Child Protection Authority of Sri Lanka which was actively involved in the relief efforts associated with child victims, said a Sparc press release issued here on Monday.

The NGO's staff has urged the public and private officials to donate for tsunami victims. However, the NGO staff members have donated a part of their salary to the fund for tsunami victims.
