The Men's Shed North Shore ( www.mensshednorthshore.org.nz ) is assisting me to collect these materials, and I am extremely grateful for the support of the Shed and it's members. I am also honoured to be obtaining donations from the public as well as local businesses and charity stores here on the North Shore - thanks to you all.
The plan is to send the goods by private yachts when they leave NZ in May/June/July after the hurricane season. As before, the yachties will deliver the boxes to Kieni's family in Niua, and the cargo will be personally distributed to those need.
Currently I have over 100kg of nails & screws boxed-up, as well as 30 hammers; 20 saws; 60 screwdrivers; 2 socket sets; various files, pliers, gardening tools, planes, nail plates, metal strapping, clothing, books, pots'n'pans, knives......and a whole lot more.....
Donations are welcome - call me on (09)479 1808 and I will collect.......
