aid for vanuatu

Image
For the past year, members of Men’s Shed North Shore have been donating nails, screws and tools for a disaster relief project organized by myself, entitled “Pacific Neighbours”. Many hours of volunteer work have been put into boxing-up the nails etc, and refurbishing the tools: hammers, screwdrivers, saws, pliers, wrenches, files, etc. This week Kenny and his offsider from “Habitat for Humanity” came and took away over 250kg of building hardware and tools we have put together. These materials will be sent to Vanuatu - where they are sorely needed for the massive rebuild required in the aftermath of Cyclone Pam. Many thanks to all involved. It was a big effort, and a lot of work. See  more Men's Shed activities at: www.shedyarns.blogspot.co.nz

The local firefighters were quick off the mark early on the morning of Mother's Day (May 10) 2015. They soon had the fire at the rear of the Browns Bay RSA under control - well done guys! - and sincere thanks from the local community
