Students and staff of the Fiji School for the Blind were treated to a vibrant Diwali celebration this week as Digicel Fiji brought the Festival of Lights directly to the school, creating a day of culture, connection and shared community spirit.

Now in its fourth year, the initiative forms part of Digicel Fiji's commitment to standing “With You”- supporting the communities it serves through meaningful moments that bring people together. The celebration allowed students to experience the sounds, flavours and traditions of Diwali in a familiar and accessible environment surrounded by their peers, teachers and wider school community.

The event featured traditional Indian cuisine, festive treats and gifts, while providing an opportunity for students and staff to come together and celebrate a treasured cultural festival.

Steve Long, Regional CEO, Digicel Pacific Hub Markets, said the annual celebration reflects Digicel Fiji's belief that meaningful connections are built through shared experiences.

“We are deeply committed to fostering inclusivity and supporting the communities we serve. Celebrating Diwali with the students of the Fiji School for the Blind reflects our ongoing dedication to making a positive social impact.”

“This festival is a reminder of the importance of giving back, and we are proud to be part of creating joyful and lasting memories for these incredible students.”

For Digicel Fiji, the event is a reflection of its broader With You purpose, reinforcing the belief that strong communities are built when people come together to share experiences, celebrate culture and create meaningful connections.
