Vakabauta Events New Zealand has taken a step to assist in the recreational development of an area where staff of St Giles Hospital can relax and reconnect after a day’s work, in a space provided within the hospital compound.

Speaking to fijivillage News, Fiji representative Taniela Matanimeke says that even though they are based in New Zealand, it does not stop them from reaching out to those who are seeking help.
