Tonga faces a long road to recovery, with most of the population affected by the violent eruption and tsunami that followed, and many areas still trying to restore basic necessities.

The Aotearoa Tonga Relief Committee was setup to work out how to get donations of essential supplies from New Zealand to Tonga.  

There was an overwhelming response over the weekend as Mt Smart Stadium became the location for donation drive 

This morning we are privileged to have Tongan community leader member of the relief committee Pakilau Manase Lua to talk about next steps in the drive to send much needed supplies back to the homeland.
