Local farmer gets surprise of her life from Tola Mitsubishi
The presentation took place at the company’s Fish Bay lot shortly after 10 A.M.
“I’m proud of it, I never got a donation yet like that,” Fahie related before disclosing that the truck would be used to assist with transporting water and produce to and from her farm located at Paraquita Bay on Tortola.
She noted that it would be particularly useful in transporting water given the difficulties being faced by local farmers with the important commodity that has proven so troublesome to acquire at Paraquita Bay.
Both Mr Wong and Ms Fahie expressed that they have known each other for years and have had a close association fuelled by their common appreciation and love for gardening and farming.
“When you’re blessed you’re blessed; they killed my donkey but God is still good,” Ms Fahie remarked in reference to the loss of her donkey that was discovered dead sometime in May.
Wong, who noted that he wanted no publicity out of the issue, said he was simply making a donation to a friend but Fahie persuaded him to make the donation public as an expression of her gratitude and in attempts to show what members of the business community can and are doing to give back to local farmers.
Fahie encouraged the government to be likeminded and to take a cue in providing incentives for farmers who were striving to be productive.
“We’ve been friends for a long time,” Wong stated, “I do a little gardening at my house and whenever I have problems she is the one who helps me.”
The businessman said he had the truck at his disposal and it was not in use so he decided to make the donation after hearing of Fahie’s difficulties in transporting produce to and from town as well as her problems being experienced with transporting water to and from her farm.
“Water is the main ingredient in gardening and farming,” Wong stated while suggesting that the farmer can now use the donation to alleviate her woes significantly.
