Preparation for the annual Bula Festival received a boost yesterday when Air Terminal Services (ATS) presented a cheque of $3000.

The sponsorship is for the Pre-Bula festival concert night on Friday, July 22. Local renowned artists are expected to perform and raise funds for the  Foundation Education for the Needy Children of Fiji (FENC).

While handing over the cheque to the festival committee at the ATS Headquarter in Nadi, ATS Fiji Limited chief executive officer Hare Mani said they were pleased to support a worthwhile initiative.

“What underpins all this is whatever we do and in the presentation I have made, the money will be spent for the benefit of the community,” Mr Mani said.

ATS also hosted the Farmers Festival queen contestants to a lunch yesterday and will be hosting the Bula queens contestants at a later date.

FENC National Co-ordinator Mere Fonmoa said the donation would go towards those who were afftected by Tropical Cyclone Winston.

“We are very grateful for the donations today and FENC Fiji is in great appreciation of the Bula Committee nominating us to facilitate this.

“We will try our best to identify the families and the schools or the children with DISMAC and the Ministry of Education to ensure that children who need this assistance get it, “said Ms Fonmoa.

Leba Boi Yawa, Voqa ni Delai Dokidoki, KKV, Ilai Gavoka are expected to perform on the night.

The festival is from July 23 to 30.
