Akbar has assured she will personally deliver the computers to the schools.

She also says this handing over is the beginning of a relationship which will be strengthened further to benefit our children.

While handing over the computers, Fijian representative for the Melbourne based organisation, Anup Kumar says he hopes that this donation will impact the future of the nation because education is a key element for the way forward.
