Parents of Tavea Island who were worried about their boarding children’s food breathed a sigh of relief as cartons and sacks of food rations were delivered to the school.
Tavea Village headman Josevata Veibete said they were told to bring their children to school last week. “We were worried about their food, water and electricity while in the hostel,” he said.
“But now we thank Government for bringing the food ration and have also organised for our children’s water and electricity. “We had earlier decided to let our children stay home and we bring them to school every day.
