07/09/09 - Water flows into school
Home  >  About Us  >  Newsroom  >  2009  >  07/09/09 - Water flows into school
WHILE Suva was gearing up to for the Hibiscus Festival, a school on the banks of Wainibuka River in Tailevu had another reason to celebrate.

The Navesau Adventist Secondary School, on the Ra-Tailevu border on the Kings Road, opened a borehole water project last week.

The $29,000 project was sponsored by the Fiji Water Foundation.

The school attracts students from across the Pacific. Most of the 280 students are boarders, with more than 25 families living in the school compound.

Since its foundation, the school relied on rain water but that was insufficient, particularly during the dry months from May to October.

Fiji Water's water systems engineer Adi Tanuwidjaja and plumber Aravandra Prasad worked with the school community digging, piping, protecting, and connecting the borewell to the school system.

The school provided labour and raised money for a generator.

Navesau has also benefited from a bakery project and a Youth Ministry flood rehabilitation food recovery program.
