Vanuatu appeal

The Kiama community is so good at stepping up for people in need, as witnessed by the great job Kerry from Kerry’s Clothes did collecting clothes and bedding for the Lismore community after last year’s floods.

This time, help is required a bit further afield – in Vanuatu. The recent Category 4 and 5 cyclones and earthquakes have left the nation devastated, leaving many without homes, food, clothing and basic necessities.

The Shellharbour Community Church is sending a 40ft shipping container full of building supplies and things necessary to help with the process of restoring and rebuilding the island nation.

They are requesting donations of the following items (if secondhand, please ensure they are all in good working order):

• Aluminium roofing

• good quality clothing

• building materials such as chainsaws, carpentry
