Founder of Aruka Fiji, Ratu Inoke Drauna [L] and Street kid turned Entrepreneur, Asta Sonner [R]

fijivillage Straight Talk With Vijay Narayan features two young men in Fiji this week who are trying to make a difference despite the many struggles our youth are going through.

The show focuses on Ratu Inoke Drauna who is the founder of Aruka Fiji - an organization that is self funded to look after the struggling people on the streets.

Ratu Inoke who is a counsellor, decided to take this step after he lost his two close friends to suicide.

The show focuses on Asta Sonner - a young man who was left on his own after his parents broke up.

Sonner ended up on the streets and shares his story in detail on how he managed to turn his life around, becoming one of the first Fijians to start creating chatbots in the country.

The show is part of a series of Straight Talk episodes aimed at revealing what is happening on the streets of Fiji, what those on the streets are facing, why are they living on the streets, and what we can do as a nation to tackle the increasing number of people on our streets.
