They will also oversee a large rummage sale for the benefit of the local school.

Loloma Rumage Sales----"Fiji Style"
"Why a rummage sale??"
 
We utilize rummage sales to finance sustainability projects within villages. When the Loloma Foundation was first formed we would bring huge amounts of clothing to a village and give them away.
As part of our “learning curve” we realized we were creating a “welfare state.” In order to help empower the villagers we created the “Loloma Rummage Sale.”Items are purchased at a very low cost and all funds go toward a village project.
