Remember that viral and adorable photo of two boys sitting outside on their neighbour's compound trying to watch one of the Fiji 7s team's games at Tokyo 2020 Olympics

Those two boys from Lodoni Settlement in Tailevu each got a TV, antenna and set-top box from Education Minister Rosy Akbar today with the help of sponsors who wish to remain anonymous.

Akbar travelled to the Logani border to surprise 6-year-old Samuela Koro and 4-year-old Tevita Nakasamai.

She says a few weeks ago someone forwarded a message about these two boys moving around houses to watch television.

Akbar says she knows what that feels like.

The Education Minister hopes to visit Samuela and Tevita when the Logani border opens.
