Volunteers from Auckland helped New Zealand charity Pacific Assist on Saturday 3 December by loading desks and chairs onto a shipping container, headed for Fiji schools.
Members of the Pasifika basketball squad and other helpers gave up a few hours to send school furniture—and love—to students in the Pacific island nation.

Thanks to her for discovering this service activity on JustServe.org."
DOWNLOADPacific Assist spokesperson, Callum Blair, thanked the volunteers for “lending a helping hand.”
The container will be shipped to Fiji by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints so local school communities can use the furniture to improve educational experiences for children.
