Tailevu family selling in Suva Fiji.
Dear beloved children of God. I was passing by GICL BSP Bank Bank building in Samabula yesterday 9/1/20 and came across this family selling bu and bila on the side. What caught my attention was the little girl, about a year old seen on the mothers lap with only a diaper and child's vast on, had crawled out on to the pathway as children do. I carried baby back to her busy mum and had a chat. I was touched because I know the difficult times we are facing in Fiji and mothers are out in  Suva even with their own children to try and make some money for their livelihood in the blistering Suva heat. Bu for three dollars and bila for $1.00 a beautiful combination for a snack or quick breakfast. Lets reach out to our mothers battling for life on our streets.

 I ask the fathers in the villagers if they could come and take over the job of selling from our mothers in the hot heat and sun in Suva, but just make sure you take the money back home. Lets pray to God for the blessings on our land and lets work  our faith. We have so much yet so little. I wont mention the village or the names of the family in the photo, but to plead if you pass by our women on the streets please buy from them and you may be able to give a little more for their families and may be a positive word of encouragement. Some one said its is blessed to give then to receive. Blessed weekend
