Despite sorting the damage in our kitchen, it has been truly rewarding to be able to share a warm meal with the hardworking response team and community members striving to restore services. Regrettably, we were unable to reach everyone, and for that, we extend our apologies as our resources are limited. We wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to the following individuals and entities who generously supported our efforts in serving the community over the past two weeks:

* Mckriel Tokataake and family
* Ga Ga-Gaelle and family
* Titan FX company
*Regenerative Vanua

We also extend our gratitude to all community members who went above and beyond to distribute meals and coffee. Rebuilding during these challenging times is no easy feat, but we pray that you will be showered with blessings and kindness throughout this year. Our deepest sympathies go out to the families who have lost loved ones in this tragedy, may their souls rest in peace. To all the dedicated volunteers, we thank you sincerely from the bottom of our hearts for your invaluable service.

We are Open for normal service as of nextweek onwards.🙂

It's always important to think about colours when creating a plate, Using your five senses, try and understand how each ingredient tastes and how it will influence the flavours of your dishes, Also taking into account the texture of each ingredient either cooked or uncooked. That is how recipes are build. Do not be afraid to fail...The comeback is always great. #IslandKaikai #IslandFlavors #HealthyEating #CreativeKaikai 🥥🥥🥗🥗🥬🌽🍆🥑🍅🥜🥚
