9 OCTOBER 2009 MEDIA RELEASE
First shipment leaves for Samoa - Samoa Tsunami 2009 Appeal
The Samoa Tsunami 2009 Appeal is sending its first shipment of tsunami
relief to Samoa, just days after opening collection centres in Auckland.
"New Zealanders have again responded very generously to an appeal for
help," said Michael Jones, a member of the Samoa Tsunami 2009 Appeal.
"The donations are very gratefully received. We will work with partners
in Samoa to ensure the materials reach those who are most in need."
Twelve container loads of materials were donated by members of the
public and a multiple of donors from the business community. The
shipment leaves Saturday morning and arrives in Apia on Tuesday next
week (13 October).
It has been a huge logistics exercise made easier by many community
volunteers at both depots at south and west Auckland, plus free services
from shipping and trucking companies across Auckland.
The sailing will be farewelled tomorrow morning (Saturday 10th) from
Devonport wharf.
The Samoa Tsunami 2009 Appeal is continuing to receive donations at two
collection centres in Henderson and Mangere.
Further shipments are planned in future.
