Kumar to Open Hope Charity Carnival in Nadi with Message of Hope and Resilience

The 2025 Hope Charity Carnival kicks off this evening at Koroivolu Park in Nadi, with special guest Mr. Kavie Kumar officially opening the week-long festivities.

Mr. Kumar, the Managing Director of the iconic Hive Bar and a qualified aeronautical engineer, has been invited as Chief Guest to help launch the inaugural event — which carries the powerful theme “Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life.”

Organised by the Centre of Hope, the carnival runs from May 17 to 24 and aims to raise awareness about the dangers of drug use, while promoting positive choices and community solidarity. The event will feature contestants in the Miss, Mrs, Mr, Prince and Princess categories, offering a platform for advocacy, celebration, and charity.

As the lights go up in Nadi tonight, the carnival promises to be more than just entertainment — it’s a call to action for a safer, stronger Fiji.
