ABOUT ten children battling cancer lit up in smiles embracing the respite from the everyday struggles they face and celebrated the joy of Christmas last Thursday with their families and the business risk services team from the Fiji Development Bank (FDB).

This is the eighth consecutive year the team visited the Oncology Children’s Ward at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital (CWMH) in Suva.

FDB general manager business risk services Nafitalai Cakacaka looked forward to this visit towards the year-end.

“We must always remember to share the love of Christmas with children as they are blessings in our lives,” Mr Cakacaka said.

“These kids, unfortunately, have a battle to fight and we must support them in every way possible. By celebrating occasions such as Christmas, we are here to remind these beautiful children and their brave families that we remember you in our prayers and look forward to your recovery.

“We hope that our hope and love for you helps and strengthens you in your journey.”

The bank also thanked the hospital team for their tireless efforts in administering treatment to these children and for always welcoming FDB for these visits.
