<div>Debbi Ashes has sponsored two Ni-Van girls, who were named Debbi at birth by their mothers in her honour. Both Debbi’s are now young women who Debbi has watched grow up and helped with schooling, they thoroughly enjoy their annual catch ups.

<div>During the Ashes families last visit in 2025, they visited the local villages and schools of Port Vila bringing them electronics such as desktops, laptops, and mobile phones. As well as clothing, personal items &amp; toys for children. They also made a visit to the children’s ward at the local hospital. Bringing with them two suitcases of new &amp; second hand soft toys, games and books for the ward. The smile on the children’s faces is incredibly touching.
