Trouble in Paradise
Fiji experiences 4th coup in 20 years!

On December 5th the Repubic of Fiji experienced a "Coup." We asked Loloma's longtime friend Jesoni Vitusagavulu, Fiji's Ambassador to the United States to explain the "Touble in Paradise". Here is what he wrote:
"CRISIS IN FIJI"

I’m glad to be invited by the Loloma Foundation which has been involved in charitable work in Fiji for a number of years to contribute to its newsletter to explain briefly the crisis in Fiji.

On Tuesday 5th December Frank Bainimarama, the Commander of the Fiji Military Forces assumed executive authority in Fiji. He removed the President, dismissed the government of Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase and declared a state of emergency.

"Abundance"
by Dr. Janet Du Bois

We live in a place of abundance. We have homes we fill with possessions. We have comfortable beds with soft pillows and warm covers. Our closets are stuffed with apparel and shoes so that we can have variety in what we wear. We have vehicles and more vehicles to take us places. Food is everywhere. We have public education for our children. And we have sophisticated healthcare with a plethora of medication to treat almost every ailment. We have come to expect the latest and greatest – and we want it fast.
