WHEELBARROW BOYS OF SUVA

Last week I went to the bus terminal in Suva for the LOOOOOOOOOOOONG bus ride back to Lautoka after visiting with the medical doctors the day before.

I noticed some of the "Wheelbarrow boys" awaiting jobs across the street.

Farmers bring large bags of crops into the city in trucks. Since the trucks cannot get near their retail stalls, they have to hire the Wheelbarrow boys to transport the goods from the truck to their stalls.

The boys make very little money and, as a consequence, must work very hard and long hours.

The next time you feel sorry foryourself because of how hard you work, think of the Wheelbarrow boys of Suva, Fiji. They are grateful for the work.
