Missions News June 2021

Bula Vinaka, a warm Fijian greeting of love and thanks, to the Skyland Church congregation and the Missions Board for your generous donation to our Friends of Fiji / Kadavu Connection school fees sponsorship program in 2021! 
 Fiji has been hit particularly hard, economically, with the pandemic, so your contribution meant more this year than you can imagine. One family, our friends and neighbors when we lived on Kadavu Island, was in great need, as their eldest daughter, Salaseini Lele Lewania Naivalurua (nickname Nia), is in her final year of Nursing School, and the family lost all their sources of income. Nia has worked very hard since primary school, and when she went to high school, Skyland was her sponsor. She always achieved very high marks, not only in classes, but in overall academic contests. Nia continues to study hard, get high grades, and is looking forward to graduating in January! Her hobbies are reading and swimming, and she turned 21 this year. She has two younger sisters, and a younger brother. Her parents, Rogo and Tulala, are very hard working, intensely devoted to the education of their children, and are extremely grateful to Skyland Church for the many years of sponsorship of Fijian village school children.

 Thank you again, so much, for everything you've done.
