*UPDATE* I implore you to DONATE DIRECTLY to the UNFPA, http://www.unfpa.org/donate To avoid paying administration costs through this website. Every little bit counts!!
My name is Katie Alini and I’m writing to you from the Gold Coast, Australia. I am a school teacher by profession but am currently at home, raising our 14 month old son.
My family have a holiday planned in December, in Fiji. Since Cyclone Winston I have been wondering how we could contribute more than just our tourist dollar to the nation.
My idea is to start a crowd funding campaign using my network of friends, in the hope of raising money to donate to the UNFPA Pacific Organisation. You can see their website here: http://countryoffice.unfpa.org/pacific/
Since having my own baby I’ve become attuned to these matters, and would love to make a donation the midwives, new mothers and babies could benefit from.
To support Fijian midwives, I wish to raise funds for the UNFPA Pacific, who continue to "deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe & every young person's potential is fulfilled." All of this despite the destruction of Cyclone Winston!
