Crossing the river on foot or by bilibili daily and then walking about half a kilometre to catch a ride to school has not been in vain for Eseta Matai Vanua.
The 19-year-old became dux of Ahmadiyya Muslim College in Voloca, Dreketi.
“You cannot imagine how hard I worked to get this dux award,” Eseta said.
