Upgrading work in Navutu, Nasoata and Nasinu

Momentum in the upgrading projects of the seawall and the drainage in the villages has continued, with stones being moved from where they have been marking gardens and acting as decoration within the community to the new seawall, starting in Navutu.

On Friday night a fund-raising kava night was held to gather a seawall fund.

And the drainage team has, through their good relationships with the industries around them, had the assistance of a digger and driver from the time he finishes work about 5pm till sunset this week.  This has helped digging the main drain for Nasoata and Nasinu.  The digger driver has been paid with bundles of fish caught by community members.  

The drainage team was having a meeting on Saturday to decide on local organisations and businesses to contact to help with funding for materials for the drainage project, each family has already given 10 dollars to begin the fund.
