Amid coronavirus lockdowns in Fiji, thousands of people are watching Hope Channel, church leaders said.
“The Hope team at the [Fiji] Mission have gone into ‘Hope At Home’ mode in regard to turning out programs for Sabbath and Sundays as well,” John Tausere, Trans-Pacific Union Mission (TPUM) communication coordinator, said.
“[TPUM president] Pastor Maveni Kaufononga preached on May 8 that was viewed by thousands who were watching via television and also on Youtube and Facebook,” Tausere shared. “So that’s a positive side to the whole thing in regards to getting church into homes. And using Hope Channel has been a blessing for the church here during this time.”

Home economics for both boys and girls could help reduce gender role stereotyping of household tasks and promote gender equality.
This was highlighted by the Minister for Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation Mereseini Vuniwaqa while handing over Home Economics equipment to Navesau Adventist High School in Wainibuka, Tailevu.
She says most people think that Home Economics involves sewing aprons, baking and cooking, however, it covers a wide range of studies including nutrition, clothing and textiles, personal finance and wellness.
