The Embassy of Japan yesterday made a worthwhile donation of a 5-ton garbage truck, a ride-on lawn mower and a fire truck to the Levuka Town Council and the Levuka Fire Station respectively.
While handing over these vehicles, the Ambassador of Japan Takuji Hanatani said the vehicles are ready to deliver and he looks forward to the improvement of the environmental sanitation and the firefighting capacity of Levuka.
Hanatani said the garbage compactor truck and ride-on lawn mower are brand new while the fire truck is a used one.
However, if they are well maintained, these vehicles can be used for many years.
The total value of assistance is about FJD$265,000 which is funded under Japan’s Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) Programme.
