A foreign lottery winner in the local rotary's prize draw donated his prize to a community organisation recently.

Reunionnais Joseph Chane Tune, who is a doctor by profession, gave the Faith and Hope Association (FAHA) the two-door refrigerator he won in the Seychelles Rotary Club lottery draw.

Rotary Club member Mr Carlo Lauro, presented the refrigerator on behalf of Mr Chane Tune, who has already left the country, at Stad Linite Friday October 3.

Accepting the donation, FAHA chairperson Mr Joseph Rath said that the refrigerator would be set up at the communicable disease control unit (CDCU) in the Ministry of Health.

"We will temporarily place the fridge at the CDCU Unit until FAHA gets its own office," he said.

Mr Rath added that the fridge will assist the ministry in the storing of anti-retroviral drugs used by those infected with HIV.
