Mistint magic - Drua Drua school

Ever wondered what happens to some of the mistints that you see in Resene ColorShops? Resene works with Variety the Children’s Charity supporting their Fijian projects. Resene paints in a myriad of colours find their way to remote villages. Variety have been involved in Fiji for over eight years and have donated everything from boats, motors, cookers, beds and preschools, to the services of teachers.

The Resene paint is put to good use and has found its way onto schools, churches, preschools and a range of village buildings. There is no shortage of needy buildings and for some this is the first time the building has ever been painted. This year will see the rebuild of the Drua Drua school room, a primitive room that had its roof blown off during a cyclone two years ago. The school is in the northern most village and is very poor, with no power or water and surviving on less than $4,000 a year from the government to run everything including the teacher’s wages and all school resources. Resene paint will be used to protect the new roof once it is in place.

It just goes to show what a difference a humble mistint can make in the hands of the right people.
