Today I received the great news that the ambulance that was 'reaching the end of the road' had arrive in Taveuni Island, Fiji.
The Districts in New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands (alongside the Rotary Club of Petone in the Hutt Valley near Wellington) agreed to work together at this year's South Pacific PETS in March. And after just a few short months the ambulance that was destined to be 'taken out of service' due to the age of the vehicle, has been given a fresh lick of paint and has been freighted over to the Island of Taveuni - Fiji.

It will be gifted to the local hospital and the Rotary Club of Taveuni will keep a watchful eye on this wonderful vehicle.
Red and yellow - it could not look more striking!
And proudly displaying the Rotary wheel and the caption "New Zealand and the Pacific Islands".
Next week St John’s is sending over a first aid
training officer to instruct 3 medics and 3 fire station staff on the use of the equipment. They have also have
donated 2 mannequins – a big thank you for fantastic continued support from
Wellington staff.
