Parents need to take urgent action today if they have been severely affected by the recent floods and need assistance to send their children to school.
Save the Children Fiji Chief Executive Chandra Shekhar said they will receive the $135,000 cheque from Communications Fiji Limited parent company of fijivillage.com today however they are already identifying children who need urgent assistance.
He said those parents of those children who need education assistance should take these steps now.
Shekhar said they are also working with the Education Ministry to check which areas need urgent assistance.
$135,000 had been collected so far in the Legend FM, FM96, Viti FM, Navtarang, Sargam and fijivillage.com Flood Appeal to Get the Children Back to School.
Appeal Coordinator and Navtarang Programmes Director Satya Nand said the total amount is expected to increase again but steps are now being taken to ensure that the assistance of the affected children starts through Save the Children Fiji.
Nand said affected children should now ensure that they are registered by their Head Teacher or Principal that they need to be assisted in the new school year.
