[PDFlist] Farewell Mr Rakesh Chand

[Setareki Macanawai]

Seasons Greetings Family and Friends!

As we are about to say goodbye to 2022 and welcome the New Year 2023, it is with deep sorrow that I also share with you of the untimely passing of one of our disability champions here in fiji and the Pacific, Mr Rakesh Chand who is also the husband of our Human Rights and Gender Advisor, Ms Angeline Chand, and father to Mr Alvis Chand. The late Mr Rakesh Chand died at home yesterday morning. Rakesh, as we know him, is a founding member of the United Blind Persons of Fiji and served on the Board of Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation as well as Pacific Disability Forum.

Again, we have lost yet another of our disability champions in the Pacific, a gentle giant of a man, whom I have the greatest of pleasure of knowing, working with and respecting for the past 40 years!

So long Boso and may your soul rest in peace!

Seta
