Well what a first six months we have had. We have sent a container to West
Papua, East Timor and Samoa. With Samoa we are computerizing the whole education
system in this nation. Pre, Primary, High and College.
Our Tech has just returned he is so impressed with the project he has offered

locals in maintaining the computer we send to them.
We are now looking to installing a local network (not the WWW) as the churches

We have since December 26th 2004 sent 3x20 foot and 3x40 foot containers
to Sri Lanka with a variety of items to help with the reconstruction. Another
40' was sent in December 2005
This project has earned us a nomination for a Lions International Award. We

Being nominated is in itself a tremendous buzz for the club and I thank those
who thought enough of the project to nominate us for it. We have now received a Merit award from International for our efforts.
The club has also been nominated for a Prime Ministers Award for our Work for
the Dole Project we run.
