RELIEF FOR FIJI FLOOD VICTIMS
The Honorary Consul of Fiji in Auckland in association with Friends Reaching Out – Fiji Flood Appeal seeks your support in collecting items to assist affected families.
Two 20 feet containers have been stationed at 66A Stoddard Road, Mount Roskill, Auckland from Monday 16th April, after midday. They are next to the Lotus Supermarket.
One is intended for clothing and one for packaged non-perishable items. These containers will leave for Fiji on the 25th of April.
If you are interested in donating, please ensure clothing and food items are properly packed in cartons for easy stacking in the containers.
We are also looking for volunteers to help load the containers.
Please contact Harish Lodhia on 021626282 or Jagdish Punja on 0226848200 for further details.
