A Child’s Education Is Very Important
Homes can be re-built and plantations re-farmed, however a child’s education would be lost forever.
Those were the sentiments of the Coordinator for the appeal to Get the Children back to school in the worst flood affected areas.
The appeal organised by Communications Fiji Limited radio stations, Legend FM, FM96, Viti FM, Navtarang, Sargam and website fijivillage.com is aimed at ensuring that funds are raised to assist children go back to school when the new school term starts next Monday.
Appeal Co-ordinator and Navtarang Programs Director Satya Nand said the response so far has been overwhelming.
He added that today, CFL radio personalities will be in different parts of the country to collect your donations for the children.
All the cash donations collected for the children will be handed over to Save the Children Fund to assist the children with their school fees and daily bus fare and lunch.
Save the Children Fund's Chief Executive Chandra Shekhar said they have the mechanisms in place to administer the relief efforts to provide lunch money and bus fares to the affected children.
For those who want to donate cash now to help the children go back to school, you can come here to the home of Fijivillage at 231 Waimanu Road, our Lautoka office at the Sugar Cane Growers Council building and our Labasa office located at 10 Rosawa Street.
You can also deposit your donations to the CFL Appeal Account at Westpac, account number 9800-935-794.
