Household items and clothing donated by Northlanders to a cyclone-ravaged village in Vanuatu have been distributed to those in need.
Gina Sammons' family in Whangarei sent a 20ft container three weeks ago to Lamine, a village about 50km from the capital Port Vila, to help people affected by Cyclone Pam, which wreaked havoc about a month ago.
Bedding, clothing, garden and building materials were among the items donated.
Ms Sammons said yesterday all the donated items were distributed by a Lamine villager early this week. An Australian working in Lamine helped transport the container to the village.
