NOKIA AND BRIAN ENO FOR CHARITY
Nokia teams up with Brian Eno to support two charity organizations: Nokia and composer Brian Eno announced a charity auction to benefit two of Brian‘s favourite organizations – the Keiskamma Aids Treatment program and The World Land Trust. Starting on January 8th 2007 and ending on February 12th 2007, a total of ten Nokia 8800 Sirocco Brian Eno Signature Edition mobile phones, individually numbered and engraved with Brian Eno‘s signature, will be auctioned online with all proceeds going directly to both charities. A certificate of authenticity will also accompany each auctioned phone.
A tireless supporter of charitable causes, Eno hand-picked the two charities involved in the auction. Since its inception in 2001 as an art program to benefit one of South Africa‘s most impoverished districts, the Keiskamma Aids Treatment program provides both HIV education and anti-retroviral drug therapy to the residents of the district at the mouth of the Keiskamma River in South Africa. The World Land Trust, a well-regarded UK-based conservation project, has helped buy and preserve more than 300,000 acres of ecologically-rich habitats from South America to the Philippines.
