Our Practice Manager Desiree recently visited the local school on , a small island in the Haʻapai islands of Tonga.
The Armstrong Murray team filled her suitcase with an assortment of rugby balls, crayons, felt tips, glitter pens, colouring books, stickers and stationery for the school kids (aged 6-11) and, just as importantly, some cash for the school to buy essentials like exercise books and toilet paper.
The average Tongan earns around T$120/week, so at T$1 an exercise book is unaffordable for many families. If you’re heading to Tonga anytime soon and would like to help the school, please get in touch with the principal on fifitamoon@yahoo.com
