    The 40th container to Vanuatu is ready to go. On behalf of NZ South Pacific Kiwanis clubs, thank you so much everyone for your generosity with donations to this Give A Little page and to the members and clubs who have donated directly to our bank account. We have reached the target to cover the cost of this extra shipment. It contains, wheelchairs, walkers commodes, school stationery, desks, books, toys, chairs, room dividers, tools and bedding just to name a few of the variety of items. Our Kiwanis Club in Port Vila will unpack and distribute the goods wherever needed. Sometimes they even ask yachties to take a load out to the islands.

    Thank you once again to the fund donors, to the Kiwanians who send the goods at their own cost(even from Christchurch) those who collect the good around the North Island of NZ at the own cost, to the Kiwanians who assist in the packing of the goods on the day, including Papatotoe High School Key Club and most of all to Ewan Beck who motivates and organises us and does most of the pick ups.

    Footnote: if you ever plan a holiday to Vanuatu, think about taking anything that a child could use for school. They are so grateful.

    These sewing machines are being put to good use. A past member started "Threads Across the Pacific" by sending sewing machines via our shipments, following up by going to Vanuatu to give sewing lessons all at her own expense. The women can sew clothes for their families or goods to sell to tourists. So now any sewing machines or materials donated have pride of place in the container.
