Honesty is a gesture that is becoming rare these days, and these two brothers have shown how they intact their values are.
These are the sentiments of Lelean Memorial School Principal Aisea Rarokoliwa expressing his gratitude and appreciation over two brothers’ honesty at returning his wallet containing $1,000 cash.
Brothers Abele Vesi and Luke Toroca, both Vocational students of Sila Central High School, were on their way to their sister's place at Vuci to seek financial assistance.
Unfortunately, upon arrival, their sister was not home so they walked back to Nausori Town empty-handed.
Behind Westpac Bank, the two brothers found the wallet and searching through the IDs and business cards, they identified the owner of the wallet- the Principal of Lelean Memorial School.
Even with $1,000 in their hand, the two brothers decided to continue walking home.
The boys tried their best to contact the Principal for the whole week-end but finally got to him last Monday, when the wallet was returned.
Although Rarokoliwa gave them monetary reward, he expressed that their honesty outweighs this reward.
Meanwhile Education Minister, Filipe Bole, has applauded the honesty of two Sila Central High School students, thanking the two brothers for their sincere and honest stand in returning items deemed lost by the owner.
Bole said Abele and Luke deserve our praise for their exemplary deed which sets a platform, which all children of this nation must emulate.
