What started as a small list of volunteer names on a board
hanging on a wall, quickly grew to take over the entire wall. Since February
2016, it's hard to comprehend how many people played an important part in the
rebuilding of the School on Makogai. With Ian and Wendy at the helm, so many of
us were blessed to have been able to participate.
Whether it was a captain and
crew who were anchored offshore, a volunteer that traveled across the Pacific Ocean to dedicate a few
weeks of their lives, or a staff member in Fiji (thanks Tracey) who spent
months organizing each vital shipment of supplies and aid to the island, each
person played an important role in the rebuilding process.
Some names are missing, some have yet to
arrive in order to add their names to it, but each one of us who had the
pleasure to be a part of this great project are grateful and excited to see the
students reclaim what was lost to Cyclone Winston. The official ceremony will
be on August 31st. We can't all be there, but we will always be there in
spirit.
Our thanks to everyone who played
a role.
