Rabi Chairman STATEMENT TO ALL BANABANS

[Stacey King]

Dear Banabans,
Now is the time for you to give our people back on Rabi the help they need if you do not mind. Maybe some can kindly give the things you feel you do not need at homes such as clothes, blanket sheets, pillows, mattresses, kitchen utensils, etc, or volunteer to support your own families at Rabi with rations food particularly rice, flour and sugar will be greatly appreciated.
Food has totally vanished on the island, breadfruit trees have all gone, cassava patches vanished and grog all uprooted. Please kindly fundraise or just do anything you think will alleviate immediate need on the island, at this moment they all need your help BIG TIME.
I am all at lost with the situation on the island, yes we are all part of this big family so please kindly give a helping hand to our people in need.

It has been a disasterous time for the people on the island. Communications is still a problem
Will be opening up Banaban House this afternoon and Sunday just to receive international calls and help.

Take care and God bless the Banabans
Bauro
