A heartwarming act of kindness has emerged from Nakavu Village School, where the Minister for Housing and Local Government, Maciu Nalumisa has assisted a school teacher whose quarters was destroyed in a fire on Monday.

Nalumisa extended both financial assistance and emotional support to Jotame Tabulawaki, a dedicated teacher at Nakavu Village School, after his family lost everything in the blaze at around 3.45am on Monday.

The estimated cost of damage is $25,000 for the property and $12,000 for furniture, electrical appliances and clothing.
