    Ash fall contaminated all drinking water. The picture is of Dr Leodoro handing over $800 of the donated money to buy bottled water.

    A need for psychosocial support was identified by the medical response team. The remaining donations helped to get a therapist to Ambae and visit the most affected areas.

    I want to thank everyone for your help.

    Last weekend I transfered the first donations to Dr Basil Leodoro. Today he distributed cutlery, plates, pots, kettle and school books to the South Ambae community based at Vatumemea. The children's toys were donated by a NGO.

    The emergency medical teams have arrived on Ambae on Saturday 7th April.

    Dr Basil Leodoro's Team is deployed to East and North Ambae and the second team is deployed to West Ambae. They will assist and support the Lolowai hospital and clinics on the western side of the island.

    Eye and skin infections especially under children is common due to the ash fall.
