“In the wake of the recent bushfires that have had a devastating impact on communities and the environment across our nation, Sony Foundation Australia recognizes there are going to be many long term effects that Australians will be coping with for some time to come,” wrote Sony. “In light of this, Sony Foundation Australia will work in collaboration organizations on the ground to help support young Australians in communities most affected in the aftermath of the bushfires with the launch of a special Bushfire Appeal.”
