Nokia and Nokia Siemens Network Offer Relief Support
by Darla Mack
In the past weeks since the disaster in Sichuan, China Nokia has played a very generous role in offering its support.
Both Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks have offered not only financial support but a solution of technology as well. With their initial donation of RMB 3 million for search and rescue missions, 5000 mobile phones donated with prepaid sims in partnership with Sichuan Mobile, and the plans for longer term efforts such as the offer of psychological/counseling services to school children and helping schools to educate the children about earthquakes, Nokia has indeed displayed a heartfelt way to help people stay connected.
“This disaster has changed the lives of many Chinese people and sadly ended many others. I am proud and humbled by the tremendous and spontaneous efforts and sacrifices our staff in China have made, as well as by the financial donations that have been made by our staff, not only in China, but in several other countries, such as Finland, USA, Canada and Denmark. We are matching these employee donations.” Said David Tang, Vice President, Nokia Greater China.
