1. Navesi School, Suva.

This school is located in a very poor part of Suva. The children are mostly from squatter settlements. The kids study 3 to a double desk, the buildings are in need of repair, painting and tiling.

We need either a FAIM team, in which case our Club’s Rotarians could host members, or contributions to purchase paint and building materials. Estimated total costs F$30,000.

2. Multi Purpose Hall at Borutu Village.

This building is half finished, and needs to be completed. Photographs are available on request.

The village, located 4 hours north of Suva, is prone to flooding. Fijians and Indo Fijians would use the hall for youth training, multi-cultural social functions, and emergency evacuations at times of cyclone and flood.

This project would suit a FAIM team. I have spoken to the Village Project Manager who said the village would host the FAIM team members. Contributions of cement, and other building materials, a generator, light fittings etc. would be appreciated.

3. Suva City Council’s Children’s Library.

There are no computers in this library. The Friends of Suva City Library are appealing for 3 second hand PC’s with encyclopaedia software and three second hand printers. Estimated total costs: F$5,000.

4. Village Dam at Rukuruku Village

This is a multi racial community and school that does not have sufficient water to meet the needs of the 368 population. The construction of a dam and pipeline is necessary. Estimated material costs: $F25,000.

5.Virtues Project Fiji

This is a group that addresses through education good ethics and morals, and addresses substance abuse, human rights through selected schools and public advertisements.

They are about to run a workshop with teachers and students and need to purchase materials, specifically Virtues Reminder Cards. Estimated cost: F$810.
