Reaching out to Fiji

Rob & Cathy Chandler who are connected to our Hive Community, are advocates and supporters of the Early Education Centre (Lovu, Fiji).

In association with PCF (Pentecostal Church of Fiji), gift packs are being assembled which will go to the poor community near the dump, and also to isolated communities in the interior.

In addition, gift packs will be distributed to a community on Beqa Island on the east coast of Fiji.

How can I make a difference?

Help to fill a shipping container with items that are needed to complete the Gift packs.

Time is of the essence, as the container leaves Ingleside (Sydney) at the end of this week November 27th 2020.

What can I donate?

  • any devices, mobile phones, tablets cleared to factory settings 
  • iPads, lap tops (note: televisions not wanted) 
  • any unopened or tagged items that can be wrapped by the Fijian church women as Christmas presents to the really poor in the interior. 
  • good tools (there is a large tool box to fill)
  • any perfumes, toiletries etc (must be unused) 
  • bean bags, easy seating (they can make Removable covers and they are good fillers in the container
  • children toys but no awkward shapes
  • boxed games/puzzles/craft
  • handbags & bras
  • small toys like  little animals etc. boxed lego. 
  • shoes any size/age

What is the deadline?

All donations must be received at the shipping container by 11:00 AM Thursday November 26th.

What are my delivery options?

  • small items can be express posted to R&C Chandler PO Box 132 North Narrabeen 2101 (note delivery must occur by Wednesday November 25th)
  • alternatively there is a one-off drop off time on Wednesday November 25th 5:00PM – 7:00PM to 18 Hampden Ave Wahroonga. Yve & Aileen will be ready for you.
