Dear All, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience with the Fiji Life Foundation and our commitment to supporting grassroots rugby. As you may know, our mission is to enhance the lives of young athletes across Fiji, and last week, I had the privilege of traveling around Viti Levu to deliver sports kits to multiple schools. This experience was bittersweet for me, as our family recently lost a cherished member, who was named after my mother. However, despite this sorrow, we managed to proceed with the jersey and netball kit presentation in Koro, which was already scheduled.

Reflecting on this Saturday, I am filled with gratitude as everything culminated in such a successful way. Though we lost a precious infant, the joy we brought to the six villages in attendance at both schools was heartwarming. The Tui Koro, the chief, expressed his gratitude, noting that while they strive to support their youth, resources can be limited. He emphasized how the Fiji Life Foundation team has made a substantial difference for everyone in their community.

If you feel inspired to contribute and be part of this impactful initiative in Fiji, the Fiji Life Foundation has a donation link available for you. Your support can help us continue to provide essential sports equipment and create opportunities for young athletes in need. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference.

Warm regards, SALU, Fiji Life Foundation representative.

Bula vinaka once again Mr Salusalu,

On behalf of the School Management Committee, Teachers, Students and the Stakeholders of the above school, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to your humble office in sponsoring our school sports uniform as we had already witness last week.

Thanking you so much for granting approval with our request as we would be able to use the donated sports uniform in the future Primary school Competition here in Koro Island.

One of the competition will be held in week 8 of this Term,and we would be able to introduce the Sports Uniform in that competition.

Your approval too has enlightened the burden of fundraising for a new set of uniform and now we were confident that your sponsored Sports Uniform will shine as Qalivakabau Students take on the field on Week 8 of this Term.

Sir, I am hoping that this will not be the last, but the starting of a new journey and a new partnership with the Development of Grassroot level of Sports with your Company, FijiLIFE Foundation, and Qalivakabau District School.

Once again Vinaka sara vakalevu for your kind heart and considerations towards our request which was now a reality and in which we will need to uphold the development of Grassroots level of rugby.

Thank you so much.
