Just thought you might like to know. If you want to read more about the humanitarian vessel and it's work, you can read this thread in the Malaysia section:

Re: The Vega is in Singapore !!
Some great pictures on Vega's farcebook page to share with you. (Yes I do have permission to borrow.)
This is an idea called Kits For Kids. A school (in this case, the Australian International School Singapore) has got their kids to donate a school kit bag and fill it with school supplies.....books, pencils, etc etc, and maybe a picture of the kid who packed it, and maybe a toy.
These then have to be packed nicely to ensure no sea water will get in on the voyage.
Then they are transported out to remote East Indonesian islands and Timor and get distributed to schools out there.
The really best pics are the ones when the kiddies get the bags
I'll try and remember to update this topic when that happens.
