<strong>Toll</strong> remote Logistics – Working with BHP Billiton<br />

to Bring Christmas Cheer to Zambian Orphans<br />

Staff from <strong>Toll</strong> Remote Logistics’<br />

Zambia support operation got<br />

together with staff from BHP<br />

Billiton to help bring some Christmas<br />

cheer to children from a local<br />

orphanage.<br />

As one of the world’s poorer countries,<br />

where 17 percent of adults aged 15<br />

to 49 are infected with HIV, Zambia<br />

has more than its share of troubles<br />

and more than its share of orphans.<br />

In order to provide a day of relief, staff<br />

from <strong>Toll</strong> Remote Logistics and BHP<br />

Billiton invited children from a local<br />

orphanage to come and join them for<br />

a Christmas celebration.<br />

Staff arranged games and activities<br />

including a jumping castle, a live band<br />

and a visit from Santa to top it all off.<br />

Santa’s gifts were a real hit with the<br />

children, each receiving a school<br />

backpack full of books, pens and<br />

stationery.<br />

All staff, as well as their young guests<br />

had a great time and are already<br />

looking forward to next year. Not that<br />

they will have to wait that long to catch<br />

up though, with <strong>Toll</strong> Remote Logistics<br />

committing to help the orphanage with<br />

repairs and maintenance through the<br />

given shelter, love and care, and<br />

a chance to lead a normal life.<br />

To support the work of the home,<br />

staff at <strong>Toll</strong> gave their time and energy<br />

generously to spend time with the<br />

children at the aquarium.<br />

aquaria KLCC is a world class<br />

aquarium with many species of<br />

year. Hopefully next year, the children<br />

have even more to smile about.<br />

<strong>Toll</strong> Remote Logistics is in Zambia<br />

providing complete logistics support<br />

to BHP Billiton’s mobile mining<br />

exploration camps. n<br />

colourful marine life from Malaysia<br />

and around the world. For many<br />

of the children, this was the first<br />

time they had visited an aquarium,<br />

and they were understandably<br />

very excited.<br />

The whole experience left a lasting<br />

impact on the children, and the staff<br />

at <strong>Toll</strong> Global Forwarding. n<br />
