Devi, who is from Sangam Sadhu Kuppuswamy Memorial College in Nadi, is an inspiration for so many students.

Neupane says her dedication and commitment towards her studies has rewarded her.

The Federation which is a non-governmental organization has been promoting peace in Fiji through rallies, seminars, and character education programmes in cooperation with the Ministry for Youth and Sports.

Neupane says Service For Peace projects serve various communities and help create a culture of peace based on a universally shared value of “Living for the sake of others.”
