for the benefit of
Tristan's OAPs
who may suffer hardship
following the fire which totally
destroyed the island's fish processing
factory on 13th February 2008

Rikki Ryan is the son
of Tristan Islander
Nola Swain
who received the cheque
on behalf of the island community

Everybody looks for a saint
in time of need,
but the Tristan community
is very grateful for help from
its own Saints for this impressive effort.
