P&O HELPING OUR SOUTH PACIFIC FRIENDS AIM HIGH
P&O Cruises Australia's Pacific Encounter has arrived in Vanuatu with a special delivery for the Vanuatu Paralympic Committee.
Three pallets containing nearly 400 kit bags filled with thousands of items were loaded onto the ship to be donated to the Pacific Island's Paris Paralympic hopefuls.
The sporting equipment, training gear and shoes have been donated by Paralympics Australia and includes stock from the Australian Paralympic Team's previous campaigns.
"P&O Cruises Australia loves to give back to the destinations we visit, and Vanuatu is a favourite destination for our guests. We are proud to support the Vanuatu Paralympic Committee by ensuring these donated goods can reach people who would not otherwise be able to train, and dream of competing at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games," said P&O Cruises Australia Senior Vice President Peter Little.
The Vanuatu Paralympic Committee has thanked P&O Cruises Australia and Paralympics Australia for their generosity.
"This has become a reality driven by the vision, imagination, commitment, and voluntary support of a legion of individuals and organisations to support Vanuatu's Hidden People – those living with an impairment in remote villages around Vanuatu. This equipment and clothing will support their engagement in sport, improving their health outcomes, but importantly improving their own feelings of self-worth and gaining community acceptance and understanding," said VPC President Margaret Macfarlane.
The donated goods were loaded onto Pacific Encounter in Brisbane on 3 May and delivered to Port Vila on 7 May.
P&O Cruises Australia also supports the Vanuatu Women's Beach Volleyball team, through our guest-funded Pacific Partnerships program. We are delighted to be cheering them on, as they aim to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympics.

澳大利亞P&O Cruises的Pacific Encounter已抵達瓦努阿圖，特別送貨給瓦努阿圖殘奧會。
三個裝有將近400個裝滿數千件物品的托盤被裝載到船上，捐贈給太平洋島上有希望的巴黎殘奧會選手。
運動器材、訓練裝備和鞋子由澳大利亞殘奧會捐贈，其中包括澳大利亞殘奧會之前活動的庫存。
“澳大利亞P&O Cruises喜歡回饋我們參觀的目的地，瓦努阿圖是我們客人最喜歡的目的地。P&O Cruises澳大利亞高級副總裁彼得·利特爾說，我們很自豪能夠支持瓦努阿圖殘奧會，確保這些捐贈的物品能夠送到原本無法訓練並夢想參加2024年巴黎殘奧會的人手中。
瓦努阿圖殘奧會委員會感謝澳大利亞P&O Cruises和澳大利亞殘奧會的慷慨捐助。
“這已成爲現實，這得益於衆多個人和組織的願景、想象力、承諾和自願支持，以支持瓦努阿圖的隱身人群，即生活在瓦努阿圖周圍偏遠村莊的殘障人士。這些設備和服裝將支持他們參與體育運動，改善他們的健康狀況，但重要的是改善他們自己的自我價值感，獲得社區的認可和理解。” VPC總裁瑪格麗特·麥克法蘭說。
捐贈的物資於5月3日裝載到布里斯班的Pacific Encounter上，並於5月7日運送到維拉港。
澳大利亞P&O Cruises還通過我們由客人資助的太平洋合作伙伴計劃爲瓦努阿圖女子沙灘排球隊提供支持。我們很高興爲他們加油，因爲他們的目標是參加2024年巴黎奧運會。
