The Commander of the Republic of the Fiji Military Forces , Major-General Ro Jone Kalouniwai today officially opened the Trauma Healing Workshop which was conducted at the RFMF Chapel at Queen Elizabeth Barracks in Nabua.
In his opening address, Major-General Kalouniwai thanked the RFMF Chaplaincy department and the staff from the Bible Society of the South Pacific for the joint collaboration in organizing a workshop that is centred on assisting personnel that go through various forms of trauma.
