The Gujarat Education Society of Fiji has been providing free lunch packs to more than 130 students for the past 2 months.
President Kamlesh Kumar says they did a survey in all four of their schools and found out that these students do not bring food to school because their parents cannot afford to it due to COVID-19.
Kumar says they have made a decision to continue providing free meals till the end of the school term which will cost them around $40,000.
He says they have not utilized any school funds for this and the meals are provided by funds donated by members.
Kumar adds they are willing to go even beyond this year if parents are still not able to afford lunch for their children come next year.
2725 students are enrolled in the four schools under the Gujarat Education Society of Fiji.
You can contact Kamlesh Kumar on 9992893 if you want to help the group in assisting the students.
