***Ken and Biniati Arriving Savusavu PM Today to buy EMERGENCY FOOD RATIONS For Rabi***

BANABANS BE AT SAVUSAVU PM TODAY OR ***BEFORE 10AM*** TOMORROW FOR AID SHIPMENT TO RABI

I just had a phone call from Ken Rabi (4am here Aust) as Biniati has been able to book a a car at Savusavu which is coming out to Karoko now. He said they have just opened the road and they plan to meet the car at Koroko at 11am. They expect to arrive Savusavu late this afternoon.
I have gathered together $3,000 in overseas donations from this end and Biniati will buy food and emergency provisions for distributions to all Rabi villages.
Ken will have the satellite phone and try and phone you Paulo. I think they will stay overnight Savusavu before returning to Rabi tomorrow. I will broadcast this information to inform other Banabans who might want to meet up with them in Savusavu by tomorrow to help with aid.
Ken said at this stage Taveuni is no help as they can't get money out of banks or use his cards. I will transfer money into Ken's cards so he can buy food etc. Apparently Savusavu is OK and hoping that Ken's Fiji mobile will operate out of Savusavu. His phone no: 8691023.

If any BANABANS would like to meet them with Aid and supplies for their families you need to be in Savusavu by PM today or tomorrow AM at latest to meet up with them.
Also Paulo could you please convey this message to relevant AID AGENCIES to try and gather as much food and emergency supplies from Savusavu and try and get some aid with transport etc, so we are not wasting valuable donations on transport and put it towards food.

Ken said they have to get some food NOW for people back on Rabi!
