Thank you Sangam
Sukha Singh, Labasa
I have lived opposite the Sangam High school in Labasa and have seen them change from sheds with plated bamboo walls to the modern concrete buildings they have now.
They also have a nursing school and a commercial building in Labasa.
This has happened because of the transparent organisation they have.
I sometimes wish I was a south Indian so I could have contributed also to the development of this school .
Anyway God has blessed me to live opposite their beautiful temple.
By the way if we run the schools like we run our own businesses, we do not have to run to the Government all the time.
Thank you Sangam.
Cyclone appeal
Timoci Gaunavinaka, Nausori
I thank FM96 and other people who are currently fundraising for victims of Cyclone Winston.
Only one small “kerekere”. Please run your fundraising in a manner that does not victimise other people.
While driving from Valelevu to Nausori on Saturday morning, I met a queue of vehicles extending from Nakasi to the Nausori bridge blocking one lane while a dozen of men and women in FM96 Tee-shirts were marching with their money boxes.
I could see the frustrations on the drivers’ faces who were rushing to and from Nausori for Saturday shopping or to work and had been caught up in this two-hour long traffic jam.
Wouldn’t it be better to spread your group and visit offices in Suva, Nasinu and Nausori areas and put some of your people on major street corners with their money boxes and banners so people can give money and also go about their own commitments ? Nausori is a busy town on Saturdays serving people from three provinces.
I am sure you can always come up with a more convenient way to do that.
My wife and I make $50 direct deductions per fortnight from our joint account to the PM’s Cyclone Relief account to last the whole year without any hassles.
