Donations are pouring in from as far as England to help children like Sohab Ali and Shilam Devi through the appeal to Get the Children back to school in the worst flood affected areas which currently stands at over $20,000 since the appeal started at midday yesterday.

Individuals like Josaia Naigulevu and his family donated $2,500 from their pocket to assist these children get back to school.

Vodafone Fiji Limited this morning gave out a generous some of $10,000 to the appeal.

An England School teacher Brenda Yates, through her brother David Dean who resides in Suva, gave cash for the appeal to help out. Dean who dropped the donation off said the concept and initiative of helping school children on the eve of the First School Term starting is a good one adding people who donate should think about where their money can do good and be sure that it gets to those that need help.

The appeal organized by Communications Fiji Limited radio stations, Legend FM, FM96, Viti FM, Navtarang, Sargam and website fijivillage.com is aimed at ensuring that funds are raised to assist children go back to school when the new school term starts next Monday.

All the cash donations collected for the children will be handed over to Save the Children Fund to assist the children with their school fees and daily bus fare and lunch.

Save the Children Fund's Chief Executive Chandra Shekhar said they have the mechanisms in place to administer the relief efforts using the same model used to assist children in Vatukoula to provide fees, lunch money and bus fares.
