Athletes participating in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games will donate sporting clothes for refugees in Asia. The IOC and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) have just launched their successful "Giving is Winning" campaign in the Olympic Village to find as many supporters as possible for their joint project.
The first "Giving is Winning" campaign coincided with the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and gathered nearly 30, 000 items of sports clothing. These were distributed to refugees across three continents.
