Nanuya Island Resort has always had a firm focus on assisting and developing cultural and societal elements of life for all the residents and villages throughout the Yasawa Islands.
Yasawa Secondary School last participated in the School Athletics programme in 2018 and for various reasons – mainly financial - had not competed since.
Enter Nanuya Island Resort!
As part of a special sponsorship programme, the owners, management and staff of Nanuya Island Resort agreed to cover the transportation costs to and from Lautoka which enabled the entire school sports team to travel and compete in the recent Maritime Division of the Fiji Athletics programme.
Nineteen athletes, comprising 11 boys and 8 girls were transferred to Lautoka to participate in the two day Lautoka/Yasawa Zone competition held at Churchill Park in Lautoka.
Nanuya Island Resort was only too pleased to be able to assist and give these young Yasawa kids the chance of a lifetime to compete and interact with like minded sports persons from across the area.
…and we were even more pleased to hear the results! One Gold and Two Bronze. As well as hours of competitive fun made the sponsorship so beneficial to all.
So, please be aware that part of every dollar you spend when visiting us here at Nanuya Island Resort WILL go towards the support, education and community development for the people of the Yasawa Islands.
We look forward to welcoming you back again (or for the first time) as soon as we can – Nanuya Island Resort – where our guests are always treated as winners!
