Telecom Fiji has proudly donated $5000 and entered a team for the 2024 Frank Hilton Organization Charity Wheelbarrow Race. This year’s race will take place on July 20th at Suva’s Albert Park.
The Amazing Wheelbarrow Race is an annual fundraiser which aims to raise crucial funds to provide detection and intervention and services to children with disabilities in Fiji. The Frank Hilton Organization provides essential services including early detection and intervention for children with disabilities through a multidisciplinary, family-centered approach. They also offer support and guidance to parents, helping them understand and manage their children’s special needs. By empowering and building independence among children with disabilities, the organization ensures these children can fully participate in society.
“We thank the Frank Hilton Organization for allowing us to contribute to this very worthy cause,” said Telecom Fiji’s CEO, Charles Goundar, “As a local company, we have a responsibility to give back to our community, especially during trying times where many Fijians are struggling financially. This event is one of the many ways in which Telecom gives back to the community, Ashika Nandni, Financial Controller – Telecom Fiji and Sureni Perera, CEO – Frank Hilton Organization including supporting other charities which help Fijians across the country. We encourage other Fijians to also give if they can.”

Their involvement not only helps raise vital funds but also brings joy and excitement to our event, inspiring others in the community to participate and contribute to our cause. Team Telecom has won the award for Best Dressed Team for the past 7 consecutive years. We sincerely hope they will bring on the same excitement and style to the Race this year as well!”
