It was an emotional moment for Losalini Radinikoro when her son graduated from Fulton College yesterday.

Kiniviliame Railau, 24, graduated with a Bachelor of Education (Primary) after three years of studies.

Proud mother Losalini Radinikoro said her son’s achievement was overwhelming.

“I can’t say how happy I am for what my son has achieved today. All his hard work has finally paid off,” she said.

“Coming from a broken family was a major challenge for us but as a parent I made sure that my children were all smiling at the end of the day.

Ms Radinikoro is employed as a Housekeeper at the FNU College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Science and encourages single parents to be bold and stand for their children no matter how difficult life may be.

“I love my children so much and I always encouraged them to strive for the best and pray to God for wisdom and knowledge,” she said.

The Davia, Wainunu, Bua, lad was equally ecstatic about his achievement.

“I thank God for all he has done to me and my family and I am so happy that I managed to complete my studies.

“My mother has always been motivational to me for without her support I wouldn’t have been the person I am today,” Railau said.
