The Ashes family are gearing up for another big trip to Vanuatu – they need your help! Debbi, Courtney & families are off to Port Vila, Vanuatu on 28th May 2026.
We would like to call out to our giving local Lane Cove community for donations. The family have paid for excess luggage with the airline and need your help!
The Ashes family are seeking for the local schools, villages, children’s hospital & women’s shelter:
- Technology: laptop computers, phones or smart tablets (must be in good, working condition)
- Clothing: New clothes & shoes for both adults and children of all ages
- Toys: New soft toys, educational toys, unused children’s games and toys with no batteries
- Sporting: New soccer boots, soccer balls with pumps, frisbees
- Personal hygiene: New toothbrushes, toothpaste, antiseptic creams – anything that you would have on hand in your household – most don’t have any of these items

In conjunction with physical donation items, we have an active Go Fund Me fundraiser where all funds raised here are used to purchase local supermarket vouchers at the Bon Mache. In 2025 they were able to purchase 25 x $100 AUD (equivalent) vouchers. The response from the locals was extremely overwhelming and these vouchers were distributed through many villages in Port Vila.
Donations will be accepted with open arms and grateful smiles! It is all very much appreciated. Please contact Debbi or Courtney on 9418 6866 or [email protected] for delivery of any donations.
