Australian volunteers struggling to get home after Air Vanuatu collapse (ABC Radio Sydney)

May 13, 2024

A group of Australian volunteers are unsure how they will return to Australia after being left stranded overseas following the collapse of Air Vanuatu. The group from the Hive Rotary Club in Albury are in Vanuatu but have had their flights cancelled. The club’s president Kellie Kadaoui spoke with ABC NewsRadio’s Thomas Oriti from the island of Tanna.

Support the repatriation of our Tanna Paying it Forward project team home to Australia

Thank you for reaching out to support the repatriation of our Tanna Paying it Forward project team home to Australia.

We are currently working with the High Commission in Vanuatu to coordinate logistics and are uncertain at this point as to any financial support that may be provided by the Australian Government. Donations would be gratefully accepted with any additional funds redirected to future Paying it Forward projects.

Our work here on Tanna is not complete. Any funds donated but not spent towards getting us home will go towards an upgrade of an Aid Post in Laus to Health Clinic. This will allow women to be able to safely birth in their local community, a necessity when roads are regularly impassable due to weather conditions and lack of maintenance.  

If you would like to make a contribution towards the Paying it Forward program please see our bank details below.
