Fiji cyclone assistance

The university was able to collect a monetary donation of SAT$4,324.30 bags and boxes of clothing, Samoan lavalavas and T-shirts.

The assistance was contributed to by N.U.S staff and students on a voluntary basis.  Following deliberations by the Vice Chancellor’s Committee on how to best channel such assistance, it came to a decision to best assist those N.U.S staff whose families are most affected in Fiji.

The cyclone, which has caused extensive destruction and loss of life, has left Fiji reeling as recovery efforts continue.

Prime Minister Tuilaepa offered Samoa’s prayers and thoughts to its Pacific neighbour, and has pledged assistance of FJD$100,000.00 towards the relief and recovery efforts currently underway.
