Donations thank you The Samoa Tsunami 2009 Appeal says the overwhelming public response for tsunami relief has exceeded expectations, and the focus is now shifting to rebuilding. “We are sincerely thankful for the generosity of New Zealanders who have done so much for the thousands of people affected by the recent tsunami in Samoa and Tonga,” said Samoa’s Consul General in Auckland, Faolotoi Reupena Pogi, who chairs the appeal effort. The two collection centres at Mangere and Henderson are now closed after meeting their objectives ahead of schedule. Twelve containers were loaded aboard the HMNZS Canterbury which sailed to Samoa, via Tonga, on Saturday 10 October. The remaining container loads are being shipped this week aboard a commercial vessel. Airline, shipping and supply companies have donated their services as part of their contribution to tsunami relief. A large number of volunteers have also helped at the collection centres and with logistics and administration. The Samoa Tsunami 2009 Appeal is continuing to receive supplies as well as financial donations. The focus for the appeal is now shifting to support for rebuilding.
