14. Nawi Catholic Primary School is the only school in Nawi and looks like this…

15. There may only be 78 students and 4 teachers at the school, but they are full of energy and smiles!

16. Children attending the school come from 3 villages:
Nawi,
Vunikura
&
Dakuniba

17. At the moment, there is no electricity in Nawi because they are a long way from the power lines. 
Fiji is a hot country which gets a lot of sun. This sunlight can be used to make electricity with the help of solar panels.

18. With solar power, the students of Nawi Catholic Primary School can learn how to use computers in the future.

19. Having new lights will mean that students and teachers can continue doing their work after school and at night time.
Other members of the Nawi community could also use the school for meetings at night.

20. This is the library of Nawi Catholic Primary School.
What do you find surprising about this picture?

21. You guessed it… Not enough books!
The children of Nawi would love to have some more books to read… books that are fun to read and will help them learn.

22. Let’s have fun and help the students and teachers at Nawi Catholic Primary

23. Access power through solar panels
All the money we raise together in 2017 will go to Nawi Catholic Primary School to help them…
Access power through solar panels
Learn with new books for their library
