There had always been talanoa (conversations) around the grog bowl or taki sessions by a group of good friends about helping out with things back home in Fiji but it never eventuated into something concrete. All that changed on 19 February 2016 when the most powerful storm ever recorded in the Southern Hemisphere, Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Winston, tore through Fiji causing utter devastation (over a billion dollars in damage becoming the costliest cyclone in the South Pacific basin) and the single largest casualty  count in Fiji’s history.
