Approaching the end of May 2026, it is wonderful to see that our Laucala School Project is now at an end. Yava and his band of workers have produced a full school. Built to withstand a cyclone, equipped with the most modern solar equipment, full Starlink Internet and much more. This is a perfect example of Rotary in Action. Our small club of 13 members managed to raise the $300,000+ to fully finance and construct the school to the highest standards in Fiji in one of the most remote places in the country.
