Education has no age limit
AS I read successful stories from USP and FNU graduations, I read with interest the piece in the People column (FT: 07/10) titled “From guns to nursing” by Paula Tuvuki.
The piece started with an old-age, but powerful saying, “In education, age does not matter”. Paula penned it in its finest expression, sharing the story of 43-year-old military sergeant Vilimoni Sukanacagilaba who attained a Bachelor of Nursing degree from FNU. It took years, but the Tabuya, Nabukelevu, Kadavu native and father-of-five pursued his ambition of attaining an undergraduate degree he once thought impossible.
His achievement proves that there is no limit to learning if the heart and mind are willing.
Vilimoni shared his upbringing and how he joined the RFMF and the work he carried out as a nurse, which was a predominantly women’s field.
His story also showed his perseverance and determination and that he juggled the demands of work, education and family, and reaped the results.
The proud father stated that age should never be a barrier to one’s education and career aspirations.
His remarks, “Age doesn’t matter in education. If you set your mind, you can achieve whatever you want in life,” added icing to the piece. Congratulations Vili and all the best for your endeavours! Thank you Paula and the trusted brand for the inspirational dose! Rajnesh Ishwar Lingam

Contingent liability
IF a liability becomes highly probable, and can be reasonably estimated, than such a loss should be included,
to portray a realistic financial situation,
until of course that liability is finally settled.
If it is not included,

not included in the public debt calculation,
as expressed in an item in this newspaper? (FT 05/10)
Just asking a pertinent and possibly silly question,
by those of us on the sideline and looking in.

YES, it’s common knowledge now.
Not only the deteriorating hospitals but I believe the inability of the Government to improve kidney dialysis patients.

Are our reservoirs running dry or are we experiencing repeat air lock problems in our main line pumps?
Have I missed out on your official press releases, if any?
An explanation is awaited, respectfully.
We invested in a 5000-litre water tank several years ago. It is no longer filling up to capacity. RONNIE CHANG
