Supporting Tongan communities affected by Tsunami

My name is Charles Piutau and I am raising awareness and funds to support communities impacted by the tsunami that has devastated areas along the western coast of the main island of Tongatapu in Tonga.

A massive underwater volcano erupted on January 15, flooding homes and cutting off communication and supplies. There is great concern that drinking water supplies could be contaminated by the ash, while aid organizations are concerned about contaminated air for people in Tonga's outlying islands.

Alongside many others of Tongan heritage, I am making this collection to provide help for those who desperately need support and shelter at this difficult time.

All funds raised will go to Friends of Tonga charity, who are directly engaged in supporting local disaster relief efforts: https://www.friendsoftonga.org/

Thank you to the Bears and wider rugby community for your support.

Mālō ’aupito.
