A fundraiser aimed at renovating a hospital in Savusavu Town has hit a roadblock due to regulatory issues. The organizers had intended to host a festival after finalizing a sponsorship agreement designed to support their fundraising efforts. Shankar Singh, the chair of the town, expressed enthusiasm about the event, highlighting its potential to benefit the hospital.

As part of the sponsorship agreement, the sponsor requested that its logo be displayed on specific boards during the event. However, Singh reported that the authorities informed them that commercial billboards are prohibited in their reserves, which could jeopardize the fundraiser. Despite the setback, he remains optimistic about finding a solution that allows the event to proceed and raise the necessary funds for the hospital.

In a situation where regulatory hurdles can be challenging, it’s commendable to see community leaders like Singh striving to help their local healthcare facilities. This reflects not only dedication to public health infrastructure but also a collaborative spirit that can inspire others to consider alternative funding avenues.

Overall, with continued dialogue and cooperation between the authorities and the organizers, there lies hope for overcoming the current challenges. The community’s desire to improve local healthcare is a positive sign of unity and commitment to well-being.
