While Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston has come and gone leaving behind a trail of destruction, one thing it could not break among all odds was the willpower of the people to get back on their feet.

Considering the extent of devastation Winston caused around the country, it is very encouraging to see things are slowly stabilising.

Despite the destruction, Winston has surely united the people of Fiji and brought them together to move on as one big happy family. It has showed us that with love and support for each other, everything is possible.

I would like to thank all the donor agencies and individuals who went out of their way to help the victims of Severe TC Winston. A special thank you to all the men and women who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that all those who have been affected are helped in every way possible.

People of Fiji have indeed shown that they are much stronger than Winston.

Nothing can break their willpower.
