The South Pacific Islands Support
Project
The New Zealand - South Pacific District of
Kiwanis is continuing with our long-standing project to ship containers
of school materials and other school related goods (student desks, library
books, teaching aids, etc.) to Vanuatu for the children of Vanuatu. We
sometimes struggle to raise enough funds to pay the shipment but we still
manage to send one or two containers every year. The goods are
distributed to schools and other institutions in need of the goods by our club
in Port Vila, thus ensuring they reach the schools in greatest need.
To this end, we appreciate donations of surplus school material and
furniture. Our project manager can be contacted via the
webmaster@kiwanis.org.nz to discuss suitability of materials to be
donated and delivery/pickup arrangements to our base in the Waikato
(New Zealand).
The most recent container was packed and shipped in September, 2023.
More about the project can be read here and
here.
The packing of the container of books and other goods sent to Vanuatu at the
end of 2015 and the distribution of the goods in Vanuatu was filmed.
You can watch the video on YouTube here.
Our thanks to the students and teachers of Kristin School in
Auckland who filmed and produced the video.
The date for the packing of the next container of books and other goods to be
sent to Vanuatu has not yet been fixed. Keep an eye on the
district calendar. Many hands
make light work. Come along and help out.
