BEYOND THE RALLY The concept of "Beyond the Rally" was inspired by observations of ship crane operations, particularly during the loading and discharging of cargo. It reflects the idea of reaching beyond the immediate confines of a ship's rally point, extending efforts outward with care, compassion, and camaraderie. In the context of ship crew relationships, camaraderie is often forged among crew members of various nationalities during their time onboard. However, when a crew member falls sick or set back and is required to sign off early or end their contract, this spirit of camaraderie is sometimes challenged. "Beyond the Rally" is about extending this bond beyond the physical and operational boundaries of the ship—a freewill act of kindness and humanity to support a fellow crew member during their most vulnerable moments. We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to Captain Samisoni and the crew onboard the Capitaine Wallis for exemplifying this spirit of "Beyond the Rally." Their act of kindness went above and beyond when they provided safe drinking water to a seasonal crew member whose contract was cut short due to a rare illness, resulting in their admission to Hospital during this festive season. The gesture—each 19 crew member donating a bottle of water from their personal ration—demonstrates a profound message of love and care. It is a reminder of how fragile human life can be and how acts of compassion transcend race, religion, and nationality. The crew's selfless actions embody the universal spirit of humanity and emphasize the importance of looking after one another, especially in times of need. This act of kindness has profoundly uplifted the spirits of the sick crew member, giving them hope, motivation, and a renewed sense of purpose as they navigate this challenging period in their life. May God bless Captain Samisoni and the crew of the Capitaine Wallis for their extraordinary display of love and humanity. Such actions serve as an inspiration to most of us. Vinaka Fiji Water.
