Full Description

Project narrative

On February 25, 2005, the People's Republic of China provided NZ $30,000 of relief assistance to the Cook Islands in the wake of Cyclone Olaf. Cyclone Olaf struck the islands in mid-February and was the third cyclone to hit the islands within two weeks, after Cyclone Meena and Cyclone Nancy. According to "The Government of China provided relief assistance to the Cook Islands battered by Cyclone," the relief aid was turned over by the Chinese Ambassador to New Zealand and the Cook Islands, Cheng Mingming.
