Ms. Anaseini Tukana the Adopt A Ship International Coordinator - Pacific ,
visited the Fiji Maritime Academy as part of the Adopt A Ship awareness
initiative that connects schools with ships/seafarers fostering a global perspective
and maritime awareness among students.
During discussions
with the Fiji Maritime Academy, together they explored how
the academy could actively support the initiative and discussed
the reciprocal benefits that the program brings to both the academy and the seafaring profession. This initiative plays a crucial role in sustaining the seafaring profession in Fiji and the broader region, essentially passing the torch to the next generation of seafarers the children of today.
AASI Coordinator-Pacific is optimistic
that this program will
not only spread but also continue to thrive. It's a
mutually beneficial endeavour, offering gains to children, communities,
and the profession alike. It truly stands as a win-win program.
