In 2024, we were asked by the No Pelesitiki Campaign if we could financially support the conversion of a shipping container into a storage facility for their plastic mitigation equipment. Despite delays due to contracting and weather, the project is now well underway! Thank you NPC for the photo and a massive thank you to the (PIFA) Pacific Islander Festival association who partnered with us to provide the resources for this project! #Nopelesitikicampaign #FriendsOfTonga #Tonga #PacificIslanderFestivalAssociation #PIFA #plasticpollution #plasticrecycling

Tu'ankuku Kindergarten Update! The support pillars are poured and the block foundation walls are being laid. Progress was slowed by Cyclone Rae, which passed by Vava'u earlier this week. The construction team ensured that the site was secured beforehand, so no damage to the materials or to the equipment was reported. A big malo e ngaue to the workers and the local community! #FriendsOFTonga #Tonga #KingdomOfTonga #EarlyChildhoodEducation #CSFT #SchoolsForTheChildrenOfTheWorld

????Update on the Tu'anuku Kindergarten! We had some delays due to rainstorms; however, our workers continue to make progress.

Technology is an amazing thing! We just had our first virtual site visit of the the Tu'anuku kindergarten construction site to inspect the footer and columns before the rest of the foundation work can proceed. On the call we had Schools for the Children of the World (SCW) engineers and architects from Honduras, Chicago, and Florida; Friends Of Tonga? Inc. representatives calling in from Washington D.C., and our Tonga team on the ground in the rural village of Tu'anuku in the northern island group of Vava'u. We can't wait to share the continuing progress of this project! #FriendsofTonga #SchoolsForTheChildrenOfTheWorld #CivilSocietyForumOfTonga #FoT #SCW #CSFT #NationalPeaceCorpsAssociation #PeaceCorps #PeaceCorpsTonga #Tonga #Vavau #Tuanuku #EducationForAll

Malo e lelei! This is your last chance to make a tax-deductible donation to Friends of Tonga for the 2024 year!

Every dollar you contribute today will be invested directly back into Tonga. We can say this, because we are volunteer-led and have minimal overhead! How many nonprofits can boast that?? If this email and your gift have crossed paths, thank you! We are incredibly grateful for your ongoing support and look forward to the year ahead. Happy New Year to you and yours! ‘Ofa lahi atu! https://lnkd.in/eHbvfrkE

Friends of Tonga was featured in New Castle News for Detroit Lions OT Giovanni M.'s My Cause My Cleats initiative! The New Castle News is the hometown paper of the Friends of Tonga president, which is located in western Pennsylvania. Maybe this article and Giovanni's support will sway a few folks in traditional Pittsburgh Steelers country to also support the Lions! We hope so! https://lnkd.in/eKDdf7gT All proceeds from this initiative will be used to support climate change resilience projects, educational programming, and the construction of weather-resistant schools across the Kingdom of Tonga! #FriendsOfTonga #NFL #MyCauseMyCleats #GiovanniManu #DetroitLions #NPCA #NationalPeaceCorpsAssociation #PeaceCorpsTonga #PeaceCorps
