Good News from Fiji

PDG David Lee announced that a grant of $10,344 had been received from the Aust. High Commission in Fiji for the Malolo School project. The Prime Minister, who is very appreciative of the Stanthorpe Rotary Club projects in Fiji, has signed off on all the expenses associated with getting the container of goods over to Malolo Island. Further containers from our club will be exempt from duty taxes.

David was pleased to report that Shirley Zanatta and her extended family recently visited Malolo Island and were very surprised and excited to see the students wearing St. Joseph’s Stanthorpe uniforms.

Gino Cabria announced that the Australian High Commission has also provided a grant of $10,124 for the Water Project for Naiyala School. Gino has received a quote from a private contractor to find a water source. If no water found, there will be no cost.
