Fiji’s Minister for Health Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete and US Ambassador Joseph Cella participated in a shave-off at the ambassador’s residence this evening.
The shave-off was part of the Movember campaign to raise awareness on prostate cancer and fundraising in support of the Fiji Cancer Society.
Also taking part were US embassy officials and New Zealand high commissioner Jonathan Curr.
For two months, the ‘bearded brigade’ as put by Mr Cella grew their beards out for the shave-off.
Suva’s Sims the Barber had the task of shaving the participants.
