Monday 6th July – we did our annual visit to Nonga Hospital Maternity Ward and this year we brought some items to the Children’s Ward – as always was a lovely experience to talk to the new mothers and fathers and meet their beautiful new borns.

Visiting the 2 children’s wards and meeting the amazing staff that care for the children there was a highlight. We thanked and praised the amazing staff for their loving hearts and dedication to caring for their patients – despite the limited resources!

Next stop Vunairoto – Elementary School on the beach – we met some of the teachers and some of the children (big rain that day so no school) – lovely spot for a school looking out to Watom Island!

Then on to Vunairoto Primary and FODE campus, the Principal and teachers welcomed us to their beautiful school. We were greeted by signs in the gardens brandishing words of positive affirmations to inspire and guide the students!

Alli, Eileen and Monique all spoke to what the ENB QLD Community Inc. is about and our purpose! The staff would like to pass on their thanks and gratitude to all our members and supporters in Brisbane who work hard to ensure each year that the container comes to ENBP.

Was a wonderful day and we are blessed to visit and meet some of our recipients.

Come along to the ENB QLD Community July end of Month and hear all about the groups latest trip back home!

TUESDAY UNPACK and DISTRIBUTION

On-site start 7.30am – departure 8pm

We woke to rain and no sign of it stopping! That did not hinder our eagerness to get the job done. All recipients and helpers for the day were contacted and happy – regardless of the wind and the rain we would persevere.

Tarpaulins were strung in the trees – spaces were cleared around the church. A plan was hatched and we made it all work. We went through till late and the container was emptied- distributed! DONE

We would like give thanks to everyone that made this day successful!

Firstly to Pastor Dauni and Talatala Penias from the Vunamami Uniting Church precinct that accommodated us on the day. The youths from the church were so enthusiastic and their energy really lifted our efforts. Thank you to Marama who prepared food karamaps for all the workers. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you all. Even Pastor helped with loading onto trucks! Boina Tuna
