Few youth volunteers in the Northern Division have come forward to provide assistance towards the provision of masks and antibacterial hand washing soaps to assist the health workers in the fight against COVID-19.
This initiative has been made possible through the Ministry of Youth and Sports office in the Northern Division and the Labasa District Youth Council.
The team have donated 160 hand made masks and 160 antibacterial hand washing soaps to the Ministry of Health and Medical Services.
Ministry of Youth and Sports Manager North, Walter Matalau and the President of the Labasa District Youth Council, Shaneel Mohammed handed over the donation to the Divisional Medical Advisor North, Dr. Hari Subramanian today.
The volunteers had undergone practical sewing and soap making training through the Ministry of Youth and Sports Skills and Empowerment program.
The Ministry of Youth says they will be contacting ex-trainees in sewing and soap making to assist where possible.
