Barter Queen

Ronnie Chang, Nadi

Marlene Dutta’s Barter for Better Fiji, among other international media campanies, has featured on one of the world’s renowned broadcaster, BBC.

It shows just how the Facebook page and its creators have eased the daily hardships experienced by thousands of our Fijian people, and beyond.

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen thousands in the tourism industry lose their jobs. Fiji Airways’ unpalatable method of termination of 758 added to much daily hardships. Hundreds of hardworking market vendors toil long hours to put food on their tables.

And out of the ashes these difficulties, Ms Dutta’s Barter for a Better Fiji made daily living a little more manageable.

She deservedly needs to be an awardee of a Fiji Day medal come October 10, 2020.

Will all who continue to benefit, join in a chorus of voices to ensure she is a Fiji Day Medal recipient, this year, please?
