Last night, I was in Valelevu and saw something that triggered a cascade of questions in my head. A few people were sleeping on the streets, curled up on hard concrete, with nothing but empty cartons for comfort.
Why are they on the streets? Who were they before they ended up on the streets? What dreams did they have? What are their talents & aspirations? What led them down this path?
I can’t help but wonder—what if we had proper homeless shelters in Fiji? Places where people are given not just a roof, but a second chance at life. What if there were accessible rehab centers to help those battling addiction before it strips them of everything?
Or are we going to wait until the streets are full before we finally act?
I hope and pray that there are organizations out there working on this 🤞🏽
