Singer Sanil Samy, popularly known as “Sunny Boy,” and his Mega Stars Fiji team have made a significant philanthropic contribution by raising $10,000 for the Golden Age Home in Lautoka. This fundraising effort included a series of concerts that brought together both local and visiting artists for an engaging showcase featuring music, dance, and various prize giveaways.
Samy emphasized the goal of this initiative is to support the elderly residents of the home who rely on community contributions for their essential care and well-being. He expressed that it is crucial to ensure that vulnerable and senior citizens are not forgotten, a sentiment echoed by many in the community. “As artists, it’s our responsibility to look after our community, especially our elders,” he stated, highlighting the collective effort needed to uplift those who are often overlooked amidst daily life.
The $10,000 raised has been donated to the Golden Age Home’s Board of Directors, helping to provide essential support for the residents. Community-driven initiatives like these showcase the power of solidarity and reflect a broader commitment within Fiji to nurture and uplift vulnerable populations.
This event follows a trend seen in other acts of community generosity, such as Digicel Fiji’s contributions to Father Law Home in Lami, which also aimed to enhance living conditions for elderly residents. Such initiatives illustrate the growing effort within Fijian society to foster connections and support among its members, particularly the elderly who deserve care and attention during their golden years.
These actions promote a hopeful narrative as communities mobilize to address the needs of their elderly members, reinforcing the message that everyone has a role to play in supporting one another. Together, through such heartfelt initiatives, a better future can be envisioned for all, particularly for those who have contributed to society throughout their lives.
