He says such assistance and partnerships between government and communities will help alleviate the challenges that we are facing.

Kai ni Cola Director and former parliamentarian Inosi Kuridrani says the items were donated by the Sikh community in Sydney, Australia.

Kuridrani says while the medical wipes will help health officials, the gumboots are much-needed item for students of rural and remote areas in Navosa who have to travel barefoot to and from their schools.
