More than $16,000 was raised at the Ambrose Golf Charity Tournament at the Suva Golf Club, Vatuwaqa.

The annual fundraising event brought about local golfers in teams of 4 to compete and raise money for Save the Children Fiji in partnership with Telecom Fiji Limited.

Ali adds there’s still a lot of work to be done throughout, and holding such fundraising events is crucial for SC Fiji to help finance their work so they are able to expand their reach and help the vulnerable children by all means they can.
