||
| First Aid boxes for kindergartens and school | ||
| We continue to
provide First Aid boxes for schools and kindergartens. Many schools and
kindergartens do not have any basic first aid resources to deal with
minor ailments. Small injuries can often become infected and lead to
further complications. We have decided to produce 'Children of Fiji'
First Aid boxes (containing such things as plasters, bandage, antiseptic
cream, antiseptic wipes, eyewash).
If you would like to sponsor a box for a school for £20, please contact us. Contact |

| School Fees | ||
| Except in exceptional circumstances we do not pay individual school fees as it is hard to pick any particular student in preference to another. However, there are circumstances when we can carry out a particular fund-raising activity and use the funds for a school where there are a number of students struggling to meet the school fees. Money would be spread amongst a large number of students, bringing all of the fees down to a manageable level for the parents/guardians to be able to cope with. For a primary school, fees are in the region of £8 to £10 per year. | ||
| Easing the problems of getting to school | ||
| It never ceases to amaze us what incredible journeys children have to make to get to school. Many walk for hours barefoot across mountain tracks (often in the dark), or they have to scramble through creeks, wade through rivers and even swim across bays. So far, we have had two bridges built at two separate locations. We have also provided two boats with outboard motors (and life-jackets) : One of these (Navitilevu) means that children no longer have to swim across a wide bay to get to school and that, in the case of an emergency, they can be ferried to medical aid. The other one is used in the wide Rewa River delta and collects children from a variety of small islands to get them safely to school on the big island in the river (primary and secondary school sites). We hope to continue to provide these (the cost of a half-cabin fibre-glass boat (carrying around 25 children) plus out-board motor and life-jackets is around £5,000) |
