Operation Farmer's Child

In late 2006, Nokia Australia supported the NSW Rural Bushfire Service Chapliancy program to assist Operation Farmer's Child in support of rural families. According to Major Ron Anderson, "It gives the people of the bush fresh encouragement and hope to receive gifts and assistance from their city cousins in times like these. So many of the farming fraternity have suffered yet another crop failure and have had to sell off valuable livestock early because of the exceptional conditions across most of the State of New South Wales and in other places."

"Rural people are very tough and many have been through droughts before, but this one is so severe it has become quite demoralising, so they will be greatly encouraged by what we can do to give hampers, gifts and educational assistance and support." "Thank you once again for contributing to Operation Farmer’s Child and for making a difference in the life of a child this Christmas."
