Hi Fever,

We've been approached by Marine Reach, a charity that does work in the Pacific. They are looking for balls, pumps and needles to take on their next trip. See the write up below. Drop off point is in Tauranga. BUT, if you want to help, we can be a collection point for those in Wellington. Email Dale@yellowfever.co.nz if you can help.

We are Marine Reach and in simple terms we “Reach People by Marine”, I.E we operate a Humanitarian Medical ship, The Pacific Hope, which is based in Tauranga and works throughout the Pacific Islands bringing Dentistry, Optometry and basic Health care to the small Islands that can’t be reached by anything other than a boat.

We were born in Tauranga 25 years ago and now have 21 ships spread around the world, all doing similar work.

So how can you help?

Well football is the game played on most of these Islands and the simplest way to engage the locals is to pull out a Shiney new ball and invite them to kick it around, suddenly a small village can be overrun by Men Woman and Children, all wanting to join in.

We need Balls, Pumps and Needles and some gear would be great, anything you and your supporters can do to help would be great, as a charity we always are on the lookout for extra supporters, so would love to include all of you on our email data base for regular updates. 

Check out our web site to see some of us at work, www.marinereach.com

If you can spread the word that would be great, any donations can be forwarded to us at
