Update: October 21st, 2015: The container has finally arrived and is a reality !!! … Headmaster Peter Jerome , teachers and parents look on as Daniel Malcolm unlocks the 40 ft container of donated school items, organised by Jacquie Webby and Sally Austin for distribution by SHaRM Pikinini Ecole Foundation to Suango Mele Primary Schools and others on their distribution list.
In May, SHaRM co-ordinated the distribution of school items including sports equipment, library books, primary school sized desks, computers, projectors, chairs and stationery items earmarked for Suango Mele Primary School and other schools in Port Vila.
Foundation member Stephanie Neilson’s sister Jacquie, a freelance NZ journalist, reported on the destruction of the Vanuatu schools when she visited in May 2015. As a result, generous donations were made by schools in North Otago NZ and before long the project had escalated into two containers full of donated goods and sporting equipment from Oamaru, New Zealand, bound for Port Vila.
In November 2015, SHaRM co-ordinated the distribution of school items including sports equipment, library books, primary school sized desks, computers, projectors, chairs and stationery items earmarked for Suango Mele Primary School and other schools in Port Vila. Some items are remaining and these will be fully allocated July 2016.
