Telecom Fiji Limited showcased its dedication to the community by donating $15,000 to the Fiji Cancer Society during a touching Pinktober morning tea event that took place last week at the Telecom Lautoka Exchange and Headquarters in Suva.
Attendees were inspired by the poignant stories of two cancer survivors, Vikiwini Tora from Lautoka and Farnia Simion from Rabi Island, who shared their experiences with the staff. Their narratives highlighted the importance of community support and emphasized the critical role of the Fiji Cancer Society in promoting early detection and providing ongoing care to those affected by cancer.
Representatives from the Fiji Cancer Society were also on hand to discuss the organization’s vital work in bringing awareness about cancer and its effects. Samuela Vadei, Telecom Fiji’s General Manager for Corporate Services and Human Resources, praised the Fiji Cancer Society for its relentless efforts in enhancing cancer awareness in work environments, encouraging employees to extend this knowledge to their families and communities.
Vadei expressed pride in seeing staff transform awareness into action through their significant pledges and contributions. He noted that Telecom Fiji’s commitment to the Fiji Cancer Society underlines the company’s belief in the value of community support and its desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals battling cancer.
Telecom Fiji is proud to participate in the Pinktober initiative annually, aiming to promote wellness and provide essential assistance to those impacted by cancer, ensuring that no one has to fight this battle alone. With a solid and ongoing partnership with the Fiji Cancer Society, Telecom Fiji continues to affirm its commitment to supporting organizations that play an essential role in the community’s health and wellbeing.
This collaboration not only raises awareness but also fosters hope and solidarity among those affected by cancer, reinforcing the idea that community support can make a profound difference in individual lives.
In summary, Telecom Fiji’s generous donation and active involvement in the Pinktober initiative exemplify how corporate responsibility can unite communities in the fight against cancer, inspiring a collective spirit of resilience and support.
