The Presbyterian Church of Vanuatu (PCV) has donated Vt200,000 to the National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) to assist the Government disaster management office with relief and rehabilitation work for people affected by tropical cyclone Pam last weekend.
A check for the amount was handed by the PCV’s Assembly Clerk, Pastor Allan Nafuki, and received by the Minister for Climate Change, James Bule, on behalf of NDMO.
Pastor Nafuki said the PCV decided to make the donation in recognition of work the government is making through the NDMO.
Bule expressed the government’s appreciation to the church and said the government recognized the church’s appreciation of the work of the NDMO.
“The church has decided to ask everyone in the country to thank God that not many people lost their lives as a result of the cyclone and it has assured everyone that life will return to normal though slowly. After a disaster there is hope and blessing,” Nafuki declared.
As a result of the effects of Cyclone Pam, a number of meetings of the PCV are being rescheduled and Pastor Nafuki said the PCV Executive meeting scheduled for March 24 through 27 has been postponed to April 20 – 23, to still be held at Paunagisu village, North Efate.
