BSP Financial Group Limited spread holiday joy to more than 25 children battling cancer and their families through a heartwarming Christmas event in partnership with WOWS Kids Fiji (WOWS). The gathering, held last week, included festivities that featured a delicious breakfast, a screening of the popular movie Moana 2, a hearty lunch, Christmas gifts, and fun activities for the entire family.
During the event, BSP made a significant contribution by donating $20,000 to WOWS, reinforcing its ongoing commitment to support the foundation’s essential work, which helps families facing the challenges of childhood cancer. Kamini Mani, the relieving general manager of retail at BSP, expressed her joy at seeing the children’s smiles, emphasizing the positive impact of their efforts.
Mani stated, “Our donation reflects our enduring commitment to WOWS Kids Fiji. We have been supporting this organization since it began, highlighting our dedication to serving the communities and the vanua we belong to.”
Dr. Mahmood Khalid, a board member of WOWS Kids Fiji, spoke at the event about the necessity of holistic care in treating childhood cancer. He highlighted that while cancer in children can be curable, it requires a collective effort of support from families, NGOs, and the community. Dr. Khalid assured attendees that the care available to children in Fiji is comparable to that in Australia and New Zealand.
He praised the long-standing partnership between BSP and WOWS Kids Fiji, emphasizing how it plays a crucial role in providing essential services such as counselling, access to treatment, and community outreach. Dr. Khalid encouraged individuals and businesses to contribute to this noble cause and support these brave young fighters.
This uplifting event not only brought joy to the children and their families but also underscored the importance of community support in the fight against childhood cancer. BSP’s commitment to WOWS Kids Fiji showcases a compassionate spirit that can inspire others to lend a helping hand.
In summary, initiatives like these foster hope and resilience, reminding all of us that together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those facing challenging circumstances.
