The recent tsunami has left a trail of devastation in much of Samoa. Reconstruction will take many months, if not years.

Resene are playing their part in the reconstruction effort by donating and sending paint to Samoa but we need your help. If you can spare some Resene paint you don't need or is left over, we'll get it to Samoa in conjunction with Unicef volunteers to see it gets to where it's most needed.

Please do not bring in old paint in poor condition. Paint donations need to be: Good condition waterborne Resene premium paint, primers or sealers only suitable for transport to Samoa and use in rebuilding projects. Containers must be at least half full, well sealed and in good condition (e.g. not rusting, no leaks). Paint must be in its original packaging with the original product label, so that Unicef can distribute it to the appropriate building projects. Sorry no protective coatings, textured coatings or trade paint.

Paint donations can be made to Resene ColorShop PaintWise Collection Centres during normal shop opening hours. See www.resene.co.nz/paintaid for a list of Resene ColorShops that can accept paint donations. Paint donations cannot be accepted by any other Resene ColorShops. All paint donations must be received by 30 November 2009.

Not sure about the condition of the paint you wish to donate?

If you think the Resene paint you have is of marginal standard for donation to Samoa, bring it in anyway to a PaintWise Collection Centre ColorShop. Any unwanted paint that you wish to return that is not suitable for use in Samoa can be returned to the Resene PaintWise paint and paint packaging recovery service for recycling or donation to community groups - see www.resene.co.nz/paintwise.htm for details. Standard Resene PaintWise return fees apply on non Resene paints and on trade returns.

Financial donations can be made to Unicef www.unicef.co.nz or 0800 800 194
