Rabuka said he was touched by the true spirit of community and environmental stewardship.
“A big vina’a va’alevu sara to 13-year-old Irinimo Kautitubuna and 12-year-old Sakiusa Volotui for taking the initiative to pick up rubbish after the Drua matches.”
“Among the spectators, I saw these two young boys picking up rubbish even as they became a little soaked from the rain.”
“Kudos to these young lads for their efforts in keeping our environment clean.”
The Prime Minister said he admires their generous civic-minded actions and is certain they will become good environment ambassadors in future.
“As someone who is passionate about environmental stewardship, to always leave every place I visit better and cleaner if possible, I was deeply moved by their community spirit.”
“Let’s continue to instill these values in our children.”
