WFWP Queensland Organizes Book Drive for Papua New Guinea (PNG)

Written by WFWP Queensland

WFWP Queensland recently organized a shipping container filled with books to be sent to a school near Rabaul in Papua New Guinea. 

A volcanic eruption destroyed much of this area some years ago and as the locals continue with their rebuilding efforts, the need for resources is still high. Aware of the need to help the schools affected by the disaster, WFWP Queensland members contacted local schools to see if they could donate books they no longer needed. 

Over the last few months, a number of schools and libraries in Queensland have donated large collections of books including text books which have been shipped by East New Britain Queensland to Papua New Guinea. The chapter is most grateful for the generosity of this company as they offered to ship this container without charges.
