Members of the Suva Fiji Stake volunteered 324 hours of service to the Hilton School where they painted the poles that lined the long driveway, repainted several learning and recreational floor games like tic-tac-toe, four square, twister etc. on the large covered patio between classrooms and the canteen.
Some of the volunteers scrubbed the driveway, bus loading area and the large covered patio learning and recreational area prior to painting. Others trimmed the bushes that lined all the school grounds, raked and bagged rubbish and leaves.
“It is a lovely school and has fun art work throughout the buildings. I am sure the special needs children enjoy being there.”, said Donna Willis a Self-Reliance missionary for the LDS Church who was also part of the cleaning crew. “Like most educational facilities just keeping up with everyday demands is all their staff can handle each day, so many areas around the school property needed some helping hands to spruce things up., “ she said. “ We all felt the importance of what we were accomplishing. Everyone laughed together, worked very hard together and felt good about serving these special children. “
