Donations of books and wigs to Kiribati
Thu Oct 08 2015Philanthropy
The Office of Peoples Lawyer (OPL) in the Republic of Kiribati is building its law library. The OPL is similar to Legal Aid NSW. Lawyers with the OPL assist the disadvantaged people of Kiribati with advice and representation in all legal matters. No fee is charged to the people. At present the library of the OPL has no library and the Internet is very slow. They are in desperate need of law books. Also, lawyers of Kiribati wear barrister wigs when appearing before the High Court and Court of Appeal, so donations of second-hand wigs would be most welcome.
Do not leave donations at the Bar Library. The librarian will not be amused. Instead, please place donated items in boxes labelled box 1 of 4, 2 of 4 etc, then address as follows:
