It was an emotional experience for the Founder of Carabez Alliance Bronwyn Carabez as she donated 700 free hearing aids around the country.

Carabez says giving away the free hearing aids changed many lives including hers.

She says her visit to Savusavu affected her when she saw a man who was not able to walk, dragged himself on the floor just to get his hands on one of the hearing aids.

Carabez adds it was an emotional moment for her to see people do anything to get their hands on a hearing aid.

The Carabez Alliance distributed free hearing aids in Nadi, Lautoka, Savusavu and Labasa.
