Second shipment of clothing on Pacific Pearl
11 May 2015
Teamwork to the fore as second shipment of clothing arrived on the Pacific Pearl on Sunday 3 May.
8 pallets of clothing arrived in Port Vila on the P&O cruise ship Pacific Pearl. The clothing was all donated by supporters of the Butterfly Trust. The clothing was quickly unpacked at the wharf, and with the Trust's band of volunteers, dispatched to the premises of local business, Volcanic Earth, for storage until distribution, which will hopefully take place in the next couple of weeks.
Many thanks to the hard workers here in Port Vila, to Ken, Cathy, Huck and Doris and the rest of the crew back in Auckland, to everyone who donated, and to P&O and the crew of Pacific Pearl for carrying the cargo. What teamwork!
Meanwhile, the crew of a private yacht sent 4 mixed pallets of BT clothing ashore on Tongoa last week from the first shipment. They were taken by truck to Silimauri by the head of the local Community Disaster Committee (CDC). The CDC will distribute them fairly to the whole island.
