UPDATE - THE SHELTER 6 May 2015
We have been able to get in touch with our friends in Vanuatu. The Shelter, described here: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11228274 and which our funds helped build, is gone. Food is available but expensive, aid is not getting to the far islands. Chris Likeman is going up in September and wants to take seeds, bras, knickers and feminine hygiene products. Your donations have been transferred to Vanuatu and used to buy necessities. The focus of future donations will be rebuilding the shelter.
