Sodelpa is calling on those wishing to offer their professional services to indicate so to the Sodelpa office, where preparations are now underway for volunteer efforts to be released shortly to assist communities rebuild their lives. We call on professionals and semi-professionals, retired civil servants from the Public Works Department, Department of Water and Sewerage, the FEA, retired nurses and teachers, carpenters, plumbers, and etc., to please register your services and join us and the rest of Fiji in providing relief efforts to areas worst affectedâ€, he said.
In the meantime, Sodelpa is also seeking support from those who may have access or own resources like chainsaws, extension cords, hammers and other similar items that they can lend to those needing them urgently at the moment.
“Sodelpa is putting together a list of resources and as requests come in like those being received currently, they can be directed to those who indicate their ability to lend such resources, or their expertise themselves.†Jale said.
