Help for Tavea in the wake of Cyclone Yasa

Thank you very much to all who have generously contributed thus far. I visited Tavea from the 18-20th Jan. The people are in good heart. Of the 46 homes in the village, 6 were totally destroyed, and a further 13 sustained substantial damage. Amazingly, none of the 206 lives were either lost or harmed, although the ordeal was terrifying with unprecedented high winds from 10am until after midnight. The clean-up and rebuild is well underway. I am hoping to get an American builder (now a local) and colleague up there to help build one or two cyclone-proof homes alongside of the village builders from Tavea as well as from surrounding villages. In this way a transfer of knowledge and skills can occur, with the outcome of capacity building taking place. In this way quality builds can hopefully become 'the norm' and the impact of such inclement weather on buildings reduced substantially. Your contributions will help towards the costs of materials, as well as the cost of getting these men up to Tavea to do this work. Again, a massive vinaka vaka levu to you all. Please share with motivated friends and family. More updates later.
