“I would like to thank Stephen Chaney and Rotary in Auckland for the donation. I would also like to acknowledge Chris Byrne and Nassau International Freight Forwarders for all the work they did to ensure these laptops arrive in Tonga as well as the close to 400 laptops sent over from New Zealand to Tongan students.”
