The Friends of Fiji Health Foundation’s fundraising golf round last week was a fantastic success, Daven Naidu, the event’s co-ordinator and a leading volunteer and trustee at the Foundation told Indian Weekender.
Our thanks are due to all our participants and sponsors who contributed so much time, effort and funds to make this such a success,” Mr Naidu said.
““Everyone received a prizes, golf gift pack, BBQ and food platter valued around $70, during the event. We raised over $36,000 from sponsors and participants. More than $10,000 was given away as prizes and the Friends of Fiji Health Foundation raised $21,000 for charity,” he added.
The foundation recently led a major health mission to western Fiji, where the volunteer doctors, nurses and paramedics besides a team of socially minded citizens from both New Zealand and Fiji helped treat dozens of patients in the island nation for a range of ailments.
The foundation is a completely voluntary effort and depends on fundraising and donations for mounting and running its missions, with doctors and health professionals giving freely of their time, talent and experience for this laudable cause.
Mr Naidu said this was an annual event and the trophy needed to be defended next year. Indian Weekender is a proud sponsor of the Friends of Fiji Health Foundation and also supported the golf event.
