Nine years ago, a group of like-minded people in Australia developed a glimmer of a vision which set out to help the under-privileged children of Fiji.
Today, that vision is a burgeoning dream that has time again delivered on its promise to strive to educate the children of Fiji.
Yaadein Vision New Zealand, set up in 2007, is now part of a staunch charitable organisation devoted to the improvement of the education for the children of Fiji.
So much so that now a prominent Fijian chief has come out in support of the charity’s mission, Yaadein Vision NZ secretary Bernard Maney said.
Ratu Sairusi Nagagavoka, the Tui Ba, has donated 20 acres of land for the Yaadein Vision to build a training school and a retirement village.
Maney and his team are now in the process of fundraising and doing their bit to continue the aid supply to Fiji.
He said so far more than 50 schools and almost 1000 students in Fiji had been the recipients of help from the Yaadein Vision group.
Last Saturday, the Yaadein Vision NZ team braved the chilly conditions and sold food and drinks at a local qawali function in Auckland to raise funds and attract membership, which can be a regular tie or corporate.
Also, the New Zealand group is seeking to send a container of books to needy children in Fiji in October.
Maney said anyone wishing to donate their pre-loved books should contact one of the team members who will come around for the collection (see list of contacts below).
Yaadein Vision was developed along the lines of the international charity World Vision. Starting out in Australia in 2000 with Bobby Mishra, Afroz Ali and Sheraaz Ali, Yaadein Vision New Zealand was set up in 2007 and is now established in United States and Canada.
As with World Vision, one can also sponsor a child with Yaadein Vision for as little as $100 a year. The money, under strict control of executives is handed over to the school directly and if they want to, a sponsor can write to the child or visit them whenever they want.
