Hi there – I’ve just returned from a very successful trip to Vanuatu. After discussions with the local representatives, we’ve decided that registering Poppy’s as a Not for Profit, Non Government Organisation is the best way to go. We’ve also decided that the chiefs need to meet and tell us what their priorities are so that we can mobilize our efforts in Australia. There was some really positive feedback from ex-pats living and working in Port Vila who have also volunteered their assistance. So, now we have some dynamic and dedicated young people on board. They are mainly going to concentrate on assessing the current situation. One other arm to Poppy’s may have commenced with a great idea from Dean from BREAKAS who is going to start a training program with skills and competency assessments for his staff – at no charge. I can’t wait to see where this goes.
Keep posted for more updates.
