As everyone is probably aware, on November 8th a fire storm destroyed 85 homes in our community.
We have asked our regular donors, as many as possible, if it was OK to donate any money currently in the bank account and not yet transferred to Cambodia, to be used to help the Nymboida community,
This is some of the devastation to us, our friends and our neighbors.
We don't want to show too many photo's as it's too distressful for many locals but here is a link to photos and video of the event (be aware and respectful)

Once the decision was made to assist the Nymboida community. We began by asking the community what was needed most. Getting access to water was the number one priority. With so much of the water supply infrastructure damaged, many people had no access to running water. So we purchased as many fittings as we could. Not that it was much with the $600 that was in the account and available. The hardest part was sourcing the parts, we had to go as far away as Lismore for these.
Thanks to everyone who has donated and attended events in the past and we hope everyone is ok with our decision.
If anyone wants to donate extra, you can donate to us and we'll spend it on essentials for the community.
