Red Cross for helping them in transporti­ng and distributi­ng the school materials.

“Thank you for ensuring us that these materials will be distribute­d to the unfortunat­e children impacted by the devastatin­g impact of TC Harold,” Mr Goundar said.

He said it took four weeks to collect these items from seven schools in Nasinu which were Bhawani Dayal Primary, Nasinu Muslim

He was happy that they managed to collect more than expected in these challengin­g times.

“The parents were very generous towards this drive and even though we asked for used items, all parents donated new materials.

“I thank all the seven schools for their hard work and generosity towards this drive,” he said.

Fiji Red Cross director general, IIisapeci Rokotunida­u, said they would be working with the Educationa­l officer in Kadavu to deliver these items. She thanked the members of the scouts for trusting the organisati­on.
