An ex-Wellington Free Ambulance vehicle, destined for the Solomon Islands, is officially being handed over to the Hutt Valley Rotary tomorrow.
The 1990 Chevrolet ambulance has been bought from WFA by Rotary.
The ambulance has been refitted for duty in the Solomon Islands and has been sign written, ‘Solomon Islands Ambulance.’
Wellington Free Ambulance will also send a paramedic to the Solomon’s to give locals both driving and paramedic training.
On Tuesday 14th of May at 4 p.m. the ambulance will officially be handed over from WFA’s chief executive, Diana Crossan, to Hutt Valley Rotary, at WFA’s headquarters in Thorndon.
The presentation will also be attended by the New Zealand Defence Force, which will transport the ambulance to the Solomons, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
