Island aid

By Bill McElhinney A chance meeting in Samoa last year has sparked an amazing response from a generous Marlborough couple. Ross and Tessa Anderson were holidaying in Samoa when, quite by chance, they ran into Joe Annadale, a paramount chief that Tessa had met in Marlborough through the Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme. “I had met Joe at the 10th anniversary RSE conference, held here in Blenheim,” Tessa says. “Then we just bumped into him at a restaurant one evening while we were

in Samoa. “We got talking to him and the needs of the local schools came up, so we asked if we could go and have a look.” “Joe took us to Tafitoala Primary School where there were about 110 pupils,” Ross says. “We saw the children all sitting on the floor on mats. There was no furniture and only about three books. Then he took us to a second school with 132 pupils and it was the same scenario. “When we came back home, I said to Tessa: ‘Let’s do something about this!’ Continued on page 2.

Tessa Anderson and a team of helpers pack donated school furniture into a container, which is now on its way to schools in Samoa.
