Amazing what
things can happen in a week! One week ago today, Sea Mercy Fiji response was
activated. The next day the first of our volunteer vessels had been dispatched.
Since then,
Sea Mercy Fiji has received and distributed over $50,000 worth of supplies to
remote islands and villages who were badly affected by TC Winston. Sea Mercy
has been the first response to Makogai, Batiki, 6 remote villages in Northern
Ra and Viwa Island in the Yasawas.
Today, Sea
Mercy loaded Reef Endeavour with supplies for Savusavu, Taveuni and Lau.
This gives
you an idea of what a little bit of Sea Mercy aid looks like:
2374 kgs of
Rice
2744 kgs of
Flour
1451 kgs of
Breakfast Crackers
338 kgs of
Sugar
34 cases of
Rolled Oats
366 cases of
Split Peas
117 Cases of
noodles
226 kgs of
Milk Powder
6 kgs Tea
13 Cases of
Corned Beef
50 cases of
Tinned Fish
538 liters of
Oil
800 Pump
Torches
44 cases of
Candles
262 boxes of

All Sea Mercy
