We are sad to hear about the flash flooding in Honiara which has left dozens dead and thousands living in emergency shelters around the capital. A colleague from Leadership Solomons, Jonnie Tango, who we’ve previously worked with in strategic planning capacity, has sent us a report which highlights some urgent needs of children and students not being provided by government/aid agencies at this time. These are:
• Providing warm clothes for children from 1-16 years (approximately 300 children)
• Providing counseling
• Providing children programs from 4-7 pm each day for the next 10 days
Their organisation, the Avaiki Students Association, are co-ordinating a response to these needs and will be working directly with children in the White River care center/ Mataniko where over 900 people are taking shelter. Global Leadership Foundation will be donating funds to this project and if you are interested, please email us leaders@globalleadershipfoundation.com and we will provide you with their direct bank details.
