Rokosuka, Nawari Answer Call Of Duty
It is never easy for parents to leave their families and children behind, but one must when duty calls.
For Captain Loraini Rokosuka and Corporal Jo Nawari, they have sworn allegiance to the Republic of Fiji Military Forces, and they have been called to serve as peacekeepers.
Captain Rokosuka and Corporal Nawari are part of the 78 RFMF personnel who left the country on Thursday, bound for Iraq on a 12-month Tour of Duty (TOD) under the United Nations Assistance Mission Iraq (UNAMI) programme.
For Captain Rokosuka, her biggest challenge was leaving her children behind as she heads out on her first tour of duty.
“It is difficult leaving my children and going for this tour of duty (TOD),” the 38-year-old from Nayavu, Wainibuka, in Tailevu said.
