Fund

WHEN the Fijian Council of Chiefs met last year, it was decided to establish a scholarship fund to pro vide 10 students annually with tuition at the Queen Victoria School. This is to be a memorial to Corporal Sefahaia Sukanaivalu, VC, and other Fijians who have given their lives during the war.

No formal appeal was made for funds until early March, but up until March 11 Ratu Sukuna had received over £1,500.

This consisted mainly of donations from Fijians, with a small number from Europeans.

Only Fijians have been approached direct to make contributions to the fund, but other people may make voluntary donations if they so desire.
