Summary of Work Completed To Date Below is a summary of the assistance provided to those families, schools, villages etc. that had been devastatingly affected by severe Tropical Cyclone Winston which had hit Fiji on 20th – 21st February, 2016.
The Mission Office Fiji had received funding to help those who have been affected by TC Winston. On 3rd March, 2016 we received FJ$28,657.00 and again on 15th April 2016 we received another donation of FJ$20,559.40. Below is the breakdown of what the funds have been used for and the balance as 3rd August 2016.
1. St. John’s College, Cawaci
Saint John’s College, Cawaci is located on the island of Ovalau. It is a Roman Catholic co-educational boarding school. The school like most of the schools in Fiji had been badly damaged by TC Winston.
Repair works are still underway.
The Mission Office had donated three water tanks, 2 X 10,200 Liters and 1 X 5,300 Liters. Below is the email explaining where the water tanks would be situated.
Thank you email sent by St. John’s College Principal Fr. Ekuasi Manu, sm to the Project manager, Mr. Thomas O’Brien.
I haven't forgotten to acknowledge the Sacred Heart Foundation via the local MSC superior for their kind donations of the 3 water tanks to the school. In fact they come in very handy and timely as we rebuild the school.
As you can see from the photos one is at the junior girls' hostel, 2nd one outside the Y11 block, and the 3rd one will be outside the church. The base for the 3rd one will await the completion to the church and then we'll build it.
Kind regards,
Ekuasi
