On a sunny day in July, our Nokia volunteers, in Aveiro and Lisbon, partnered with two of our local NGO’s and brought a few children along for a minigolf activity.
It was a great moment to unwind and give the children an opportunity to have fun and practice a sport they hadn't had the chance to experience before.
Nokia Santa - Christmas Solidarity Event
Along with our Nokia Broad Band, we celebrated Christmas by hosting our “Christmas Raffles” and “Nokia Santa” campaigns, with a party in the auditorium, inviting children from our partner NGOs.
Not only did we manage to gather 146 presents for children in 8 different institutions, but we were also able to provide various meals for 2 social care institutions in Lisbon and Aveiro.
Meals prep for families in need
Twenty-five Nokia volunteers went out to deliver meals to individuals in a housing crisis and support meal prep for families in need, both in Lisbon and Aveiro.
This small action is a life-changing solidarity event, and we are happy that our colleagues felt how rewarding it is to make such a difference.
In the amazing company of our tiny helpers and volunteers, we contributed to the renewal of the children's associations' gardens, at Vera Cruz (Aveiro) and Centro Sagrada Família (Lisbon).
It was a fun-filled morning cleaning the green spaces, planting 3 fruit trees and creating 4 plant beds for the children to see the fruit and vegetables growing.
