In Sydney, we have moved a lot of things into the shipping container and are sorting out the details of the journey to Bougainville - this is expected to be during the week after Easter (20 April). If you would like to help, top priorities before then are:
1. Raising money to pay for shipping. Generous donations from a number of individuals and organisations, and a fundraiser organised by NSW Parliament, have raised enough money to buy the shipping container and put $1000 towards shipping costs. These are expected to be around $9000, half of which will be paid by the others who are sharing the container. So we need about $3500 more for the HWC / BWF share. Any money raised in excess of this amount will be used for projects of HWC and BWF.
2. Items still needed, that can be packed in the container, are:
Office chairs and small desks
Office stationery including A4 paper, pens, manila folders
Water bottles or jugs and glasses (cafe)
Small display cabinet for cakes etc (cafe)
Small and medium size coffee plungers (cafe)
Kitchen equipment - eg pots, pans, mixing bowls and electric mixer, a rice cooker, a microwave (cafe)
