10 years

WOWS Tonga Tae Kami Foundation launched the anniversary celebrations in Nuku’alofa Wednesday.

The foundation was formed in memory of Tae Kami who passed away in 2008 after battling cancer.

Honourable Frederica Tuita-Filipe cut a cake and a children’s choir entertained guests with the theme song ‘Walk On Walk Strong’ at Vaiola Hospital.

Kami penned the song ‘Walk on Walk Strong’ which inspired the name and acronym ‘WOWS’.

This is one of Digicel’s final initiatives to commemorate its 10th anniversary in Tonga.

Seventy-five lucky walk-in customers received free Digicel Coffee mugs and free coffee as well as additional free Unlimited Data for 2 Hours.

The event marked the end of the anniversary that falls in the month of May.

The RSE scheme was established in 2007 and allows the horticulture and viticulture industries to recruit workers from overseas for seasonal work when there are not enough New Zealand workers.

Over the last ten years, the scheme has grown not only in the number of participant employers and workers, but in economic benefits that have gone beyond New Zealand to the wider Pacific.

"It is absolutely reasonable to ask that question," S&P Global Market Intelligence analyst Scott Kessler says.

Today Twitter (TWTR) trades at about $16 a share, a 75 per cent decline from its peak, reflecting a sharp loss of confidence on Wall Street.
