Smiles all around at the distribution of donations by the VBA’s 1.1.2023.
Thanks to all our sponsors/donors, Australia post and the mammoth efforts of our in-country manager, our donations finally arrived on Kiriwina for distribution. Yay!
There is an immediate need for used prescription reading glasseson Kiriwina. Many people have vision issues with no means of obtaining prescription glasses.
We would like to thank our wonderful regular supporter Leonie, for her latest generous donation of reading glasses to Kiriwina. Leonie is uniquely aware of the needs of the Kiriwinan people as she lived on Oyabia station from the late 60’s early 70’s, with her school teacher husband Ian.
Thank you Leonie, your generous donation will be a great relief to the Kiriwinans.
Please send all donations of prescription glasses to:
Balgowlah Parcel Locker
