Close to 400 children living in Maururu, Tauvegavega in Ba and Vunato Settlement in Lautoka received early Christmas gifts from the Pacific Recycling Foundation during its annual Christmas gift and stationery drive.

Pacific Recycling Foundation and Waste Recyclers Fiji Limited CEO Amitesh Deo says seeing the smiles on the children’s faces was worth it.

Deo says every child deserves a Christmas gift, and they are happy to be able to bring smiles to these children’s faces with the support of their partners.

The CEO says most recipients are part of PRF and Waste Recyclers Fiji Limited’s wider family as they are the children of Collection Pillars of Recycling who are engaged in informal waste-picking.

He adds their annual Christmas gift and stationery drive began last year, and it will continue to carry this into the future.
