TILIVA 7s tournament organisers confirmed that funds raised from the tournament would be directed to the building of a new teachers’ quarters for Tiliva District School.
Tiliva 7s organising committee member Alipate Naikasava revealed this during the official launch of the tournament at the Fiji Trades Union Congress building in Suva last week.
“We are intending to build two teachers’ quarters for the Tiliva District School. In saying this, although Government is assisting a lot in the education of this country, we intend to assist the Government which is concentrating on rehabilitation programs after Tropical Cyclone Winston,” Naikasava said.
He said they had taken this self-sustainable initiative as a way of being independent and paving the way for other village communities.
He said the building of a new school block for the school was also part of their long-term plans.
Organisers have also revealed that in terms of boat logistics, teams should be advised that the MV Lomaiviti Princess would be leaving Port-Mua-i-Walu in Suva on April 26 for Naleca, while the MV Liahona would depart Naleca for Suva on April 29.
Interested teams outside of Kadavu are advised to make the necessary bookings as soon as possible.
