DONATE GOODS FOR VILLAGE SCHOOLS

HEAPS Australia receives regular donations of second-hand office and classroom furnishings.  These are kindly stored for free in 3 sheds at Storage King, Perth Airport as a humanitarian partnership.   Swire Shipping Liner Service operated by the China Navigation Company Pte Ltd (CNCo) formed a long-term working partnership with HEAPS where they regularly assist with sea containers and sea freight from Australia to Papua New Guinea. Without both Companies wonderful support, this project would not be possible.  We are now into our 6th year of gifting.

Western Australia Schools’ and Businesses activities in supplying school furniture and primary school reading books could be considered to be welfare,  yet! these benefits have helped to break the cycle of poverty.  Currently, there are thirty one (31) remote village schools better equipped with a greatly improved learning environment.   Nine (9) community support services with better office facilities.

This ongoing support is not a handout project. We necessitate local villagers involvement from ordering what they need, providing fuel, local trucks, boats, canoes and community labor, collection from the port arrived sea container to delivery in their distant area.  Some schools have expanded their student numbers through the community building new bush classrooms furnished with donated desks, chairs and blackboards.  Other schools have been re-opened with the Education Department providing teachers.

We are very grateful for all of the ongoing support we receive.

Please contact HEAPS Australia if you are able to gift goods for Papua New Guinea Elementary and Primary level isolated schools.
