A Success Filled Outing in Northern Lau

We returned on Thursday 21st May to Suva's Kings Wharf from our island hopping trade show to Northern Lau. All participants have been in awe of the resources that we have access to. However, it has also brought out the problem of shipping to these islands. Solutions have been fervently discussed on the vessel whilst we travelled between islands. Our objective to begin to showcase Lau and it's potential to the local private sector has been achieved. Sales have been great for participants as people bought in hard cash - people were seen to be carrying around bags of money! I guess they don't have anywhere else to spend it on other than food products at the local shops.

The people of Northern Lau have also responded well to our trip. As a result we will do another Northern Lau trip before year end. But, first we have to do the other parts of Lau as well.

Unique Events has decided to focus on Lau for 2 main reasons. The first is because i am a native of Lau and secondly is because we are the farthest and most inaccesible of the maritime provinces.

We hope and pray you will all continue to pray for us in our work to take goods & services to our shores for the betterment of our fellow countrymen.
