Solomon Islands

Ria Sali Primary School

The Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) has been further boosted with an invaluable donation to the Ria Sali Primary School. Combined Task Force 635 Commanding Officer LTCOL David Thomas and Rosalie Primary School Principal Sue Goddard presented school staff and students with stationery, laptop computers and a substantial monetary donation. The relationship between the ADF and learning facilities in the Solomon Islands strengthens ties between military personnel and the community.

Combined Task Force 635 is the ADF contribution to the RAMSI. The mission is to assist the government in maintaining a stable environment for the implementation of capacity development programmes.
