Vanuatu Medical Outreach
Support the Smith family medical volunteer trip to Vanuatu in April this year
International
Our whanau are priviledged to have the opportunity in April/May to volunteer at a medical clinic in Vanuatu. We'll spend around 5 weeks at the 'Family Care Centre' in the Teouma Valley with our 3 girls serving at the centre.
The Family care centre (https://familycarecentre.org/) is run by Marine Reach Vanuatu which is a not-for-profit international Christian organisation. The clinic exists to bridge the gap in Vanuatu’s limited health resources, by providing basic health and dental care, along with health education, to the surrounding communities. As well as providing training seminars and housing for Ni-Vans who are looking for mentoring and training in leadership development in the health-care and education sectors.
We are really excited about helping the team in Vanuatu with their work and know we will be enriched and blessed ourselves by the experience. We will be running some fundraisers in the next few months to help with our flights and accommodation, but this page is here in case you can't make any of those and wish to support us.
Use of funds
Money fundraised will go towards flights and accommodation for our travels. Anything extra would be donated to the clinic.

Thank you once again for everyone's incredible generosity, kindness and encouragement. We are absolutely humbled and blown away. We said from the start that anything we raise over $6,500 we would donate towards the family care centre as we have always expected to be paying for some of this trip ourselves.
So at this stage we will be donating over $1000 to the Family care centre! How cool is that.
Thank you once again.
