The small community of Voivoi, in Nadi, had taken it upon themselves to build a kindergarten for children in the area.

However, the community’s funds could only foot the foundation of the building.

The community needed $30,000 more to complete the project.

Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama stopped by to see how the kindy could be completed.

He assured the school management that the project would now be completed by RFMF officers in Nadi.

Voivoi Community Kindergarten manager, Abhi Ram, could not believe their problem been sorted out in minutes by Commodore Bainimarama.

“He does not just talk, he delivers. He did not come here to make empty promises. He saw what we needed and solved our problems."

Commodore Bainimarama also came across another resident, Dharam Datt.

Mr Datt had inherited nine acres of land from his father. However, after the renewal of the lease, he was allocated just six acres. He said that three acres were given to another person who resides in Australia.

“My officers are going to talk to the TLTB officers in Nadi. We will try to see that all nine acres are given back to this man so he can farm on it,” Commodore Bainimarama said.
