THE Namosi Joint Venture (NJV) has contributed to the rehabilitation and recovery of Fiji after Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston by giving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies to the St John Ambulance organisation.

NJV country manager Greg Morris acknowledged the work being done by Government, aid agencies, and other organisations and said the company began planning relief support immediately after the cyclone.

“NJV mobilised resources and our dedicated staff were out in the field in our affected communities as soon as we could,” Mr Morris said.

“This is part of our ongoing commitment to community support.”

Mr Morris said staff members also helped communities in affected areas clean up after the cyclone.

“NJV personnel helped local villagers at Delailasakau and Nasevou in the tikina of Waidina, Naitasiri clean up demolished classrooms at the local primary school and will be allocating further assistance to the affected schools.

“In this regard, NJV has supplied 80 basic school supply kits of exercise books, pens, and pencils worth $900 to affected students in the area.

“The rebuilding will be an ongoing process and NJV will continue to make assessments and contribute to areas where they can make the most impact.”

He added that a contribution of $5000 was also given to Fiji Red Cross Society to help rebuild Fiji.
