Donate to the people of Rakiraki after Cyclone Winston

Bula,

As you would have heard and seen on the news, Tropical Cyclone Winston has done severe damage to the Fijian Islands. Being a third world country, a lot of locals have gone from having very little, to having nothing at all, literally overnight. Homes and crops destroyed, villages and schools totally wiped out.

One of the worst affected districts, is the Rakiraki district. Reports from the villages near Rakiraki town are of utter devastation. Nearly no houses have survived, hundreds are now homeless and without readily available food and clean drinking water.

I have made this page to raise funds for the people in the Rakiraki area who are in a desperate time of need.

With my parents over in the Rakiraki area right now, I saw this as an opportunity to get direct aid and some financial relief to these villages and people via them.

Every single cent raised in this campaign will be given directly to those Fijian locals who need it the most. We are still working out the finer details on how to distribute the money most effectively, but you can rest assured it will arrive where it is needed.

Those who have visited Fiji will know what a beautiful and wonderful country it is, the people are some of the friendliest, caring, unassuming and appreciative on the planet.

It's times like this when we must remember how fortunate we are to live in a first world country. Nearly all of us have some spare money for a cause like this. These people deserve our generosity on one of their darkest days, and every little bit counts.

This page will be open for 7 days only so please tell your friends, share on Facebook and most of all... GIVE GENEROUSLY!
