Ten Nokia Sirocco Brian Eno Signature Edition Will Be Auctioned for Charity All proceeds will be going directly to both charities	By Iohana Georgescu, Communications News Editor 21st of December 2006, 08:20 GMT Adjust text size:


Ten Nokia 8800 Sirocco, sporting composer Brian Eno's signature on the front side, will be auctioned online, and the money raised will be used for two charity actions Brian Eno has chosen to support, the Keiskamma Aids Treatment - an art program to benefit one of South Africa's most impoverished district that provides HIV education and anti-retroviral drug therapy - and The World Land Trust, a UK based conservation project that has helped buy and preserve more than 300,000 acres of ecologically rich habitats. Nokia has been launching a lot of Sirocco editions and I have to admit that this one really is special because it has been released for a good cause. "I would like to thank the people who bid for these phones for helping towards solutions to two of the biggest problems facing the world: climate change and Aids," said Brian Eno. "The World Land Trust seeks to address long term environmental change by planting trees and caring for the land. The Keiskamma Trust is a great example of an intelligent local response to a global problem, helping people with AIDS to manage their condition and live useful and productive lives" "We are truly delighted to work closely with Brian, who composed the soundtrack to the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition, to raise funds in support of his chosen charities," says Heikki Norta, Senior Vice President, Lifestyle Products, for Nokia. "In addition to supporting these two very worthwhile causes, each successful bidder will own an exceptionally unique mobile phone, each individually numbered and signed by the composer himself." If you are interested in helping, therefore bidding on one of the phones, you can do so starting the 8th of January until the 12th of February by visiting nokiacharityauction.com.
