A slice of home for Kiwi troops deployed overseas this Christmas | RNZ

On Christmas Day last year, in a town next to the murky Jur River in South Sudan, Major Christian Jacobsen opened a package sent thousands of kilometres away from Trentham. He was one of three Kiwi military personnel deployed on a UN Peace Keeping Mission. In his town Wau, he was the only person who spoke English as a first language. It was an RNZRSA gift parcel Jacobsen received; Pam's ginger biscuits providing "a little slice of home." This year, he's paying it forward, helping package parcels for the 140 Kiwi Defence Force personnel who will be overseas this Christmas. "It was an important thing to receive overseas so I thought it was important to do this in return." It's the 85th year of sending out packages. Reporter: Samantha Mythen Video: Reece Baker
