Mr.Vateitei-receiving his power tools from the Chairman of FTACTL Mr. Iosefo Volau
Luke Vateitei’s continued assistance in assembling coffin boxes for deceased relatives and friends throughout Ovalau and nation has provided much consolation and relief during unexpected times of grief. In fact, it could be termed as the “talk of the town” …… as a teacher providing a mammoth community service, many a time had only received a Big Vinaka Vakalevu for the good Samaritan he had become. With unwavering commitment, he would try and put together whatever was given to him to construct these coffin boxes. At times he would also rise to the occasion in offering the Hearse service to wherever the funeral gathering was staged. Learning of his eligibility status available at FTACTL, and prompted by the rising request for his craftsmanship, he decide to seek for financial funding to purchase appropriate tools to assist him in his endeavor.
Much to his delight FTACTL approved his request and had invited him to come over and select the items for purchase in Suva. In a motivated and inspired mood, he had purchased Power tools worth $6,544.00. Retorting in the famous Lovoni dialect after receiving the assistance, from The Chairman of FTACTL he uttered –
“Isa, mai na vatotomi kina Vale ni Tui, Sa ka vinaka na vosotia, ia sai yau levu na loloma. Vinaka vakalevu Turaga, e na soqosoqo vinaka ke, na FTACTL.”
