I have had the privilege of meeting some of the beautiful friendly people of Vanuatu. I cannot imagine how it must feel to suffer this level of devastation during a severe international crisis, and trust that this is a small way that I can assist my neighbours. This is a small portion of my wage subsidy from the NZ government relief fund.
