LOKIA Village pre-school children will no longer have to attend classes in the village hall.

This, after a new community kindergarten was opened by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama yesterday.

Village headman Ulaiasi Tuikoro said for the past 10 years classes were disrupted whenever there were village functions.

“This will now make things easy for our children,” Mr Bainimarama said.

He said the $20,000 project was funded by the Chinese government.

Mr Bainimarama said children in Lokia would develop essential life skills that would carry them through primary school, secondary school, tertiary studies, and beyond.

“This isn’t just about learning ABCs and 1-2-3s, it is about setting Fijians out on the right foot, and laying a foundation of knowledge that they will build upon for the rest of their lives,” he said.

“It’s refreshing to see Fijians of all walks of life seeing this value and investing in their children by supporting their dreams.”

Chinese ambassador to Fiji, Qian Bo said the project was a clear demonstration of their support to the Fijian community.

“I am glad to know that many kids of Lokia Village and nearby communities will benefit from this project, which means that these kids will have a better environment to play and grow,” he said.
