This is an
Initiative from Dunedin Central Rotary Club.
Too many conference bags and wondering what to do with
them?
Sarah
Ting has a potential solution for you. In conjunction with James Leong, she has
started an initiative called Bag Amnesty Aoteroa New Zealand.
The
idea started out with a simple conundrum that faces many professionals and
academics who attend conferences regularly. Through her links with Marine Reach
who operate Mercy Ship medical and dental missions to the South Pacific, Sarah
intends for donated bags to be distributed to children from remote island
communities. These bags would make good school bags for these children and
could provide them with a tangible link to the wider international community,
almost like a message in a bottle.
Sarah
has set up collection points at the Dental School and is welcoming donations
from fellow Rotarians. Roadstar Couriers have kindly agreed to transport these
to the port of Tauranga for free.
