Taio Shipping transports goods

Three pick-up trucks full of clothing, linen and footwear were loaded onboard Te Koumaru and bound for Red Cross in Aitutaki.
Aitutaki Red Cross will be responsible for distributing the goods which were donated by “…generous people on Rarotonga who responded to a call for clothing, bedding and shoes,” says Aitutaki Cyclone Appeal committee vice-chairman Vaitoti Tupa. He says the ACA were advised by Aitutaki Red Cross of the need for these items and thanks to the support of Taio Shipping, the goods are expected to be on the way Tuesday 16th March.
“We asked Josiah Taio (Taio Shipping manager) if he could help us get the stuff across and he didn’t hesitate at all to ship it all at no cost and also offering to provide bins so the goods would be safer.”
The ACA committee is grateful to all the people answered the call for support and delivered their goods to the Aitutaki Hostel. Meitaki atupaka!
