You don’t have to be a drinker but the relaxing environment also gives an opportunity for those that are timid to contribute.

Just one way to approach the iTaukei male demographic (3/3)

[Malo.I🇫🇯 @iMalo29]

to generate discussion rather than the formal speaker/presentation with agenda method.
What intrigued her the most was that most of the audience were men/fathers... many of which are usually missing from support groups of patients of those living with a medical condition. (2/3)

[Malo.I🇫🇯 @iMalo29]

It can serve as a platform in discussing important issues.

A colleague of mine shared her experience where she conducted an informal awareness session on a health issue during a kava session. The informal setting generated confidence in both my colleague and audience (1/3)

🧵1/5. As a Lupus Fiji Foundation Ambassador, I was grateful to be invited to mark International Lupus Day (May 10th) with Lupus patients, family members and supporters of the Lupus Foundation of Fiji.

When an earthquake happens overseas, they check if everyone is okay. In Fiji, we check if everyone else felt it too.

Good morning friends, hope you're all safe!

#OnwardTogether, God bless Fiji. 🇫🇯

Celebrating IWD with the ladies

[Dr P Kamath @cardio73]

This is so heartening ❤️. A friend donates 5 ECG machines in loving memory of his classmate who succumbed to a massive heart attack last week. He wanted to remain anonymous but this will remain as my most memorable world heart day present. @worldheartfed #WorldHeartDay2021
