Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On March 30th, 2015, the third batch of Chinese relief aid arrived at the Bauerfield International Airport of Port Vila (or 第三架援瓦紧急救灾包机). This aid comes as a part of the larger promise from the Chinese government to provide 30 million RMB of emergency relief aid after Vanuatu was hit by Tropical Cyclone Pam on March 13th and 14th. This plane brought 125 pieces of tarpaulin, 27 tons of vermicelli (dry/instant noodles) and 6 sets of 40 KVA diesel generators ("The Third Chinese Chartered Plane with Disaster-relief Goods Arrived in Port Vila"). This project is linked to Record ID#49212, which is the 30 million RMB grant.
