His Excellency the President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau today visited two high schools in the Tavua District to continue his advocacy on HIV and AIDS.
Speaking to the students, the Head of State reminded them on Government’s commitment towards ensuring that those persons living with HIV and AIDS do not face discrimination and also have access to anti lateral viral drugs. He added that as Fiji’s president, he was happy to note that there were no reported cases of students in schools that are HIV positive.
“According to statistics for Fiji – there are no students that are currently reported and I pray that it remains like that,” Ratu Epeli said.
However, he urged students to concentrate on studying and fulfilling their dreams and to live life to its fullest.
“Government has brought a level playing field for all and with term three already well underway, I wish those students sitting for external exams all the best – remember you are competing with the rest of Fiji, so give it your best shot.”
Tomorrow he is expected to be at Tavua College – the last secondary school for the Head of State to visit on Viti Levu before he travels to Vanua Levu and the outer islands.
