Members of the Lami Division Methodist Youth Fellowship and Junior Methodist Youth Fellowship have been praised for cleaning up the Lami foreshore and town areas during the Diwali holiday period yesterday.
The youth groups organised a community clean-up campaign and sports day at Tikaram Park in Lami, combining community service with activities aimed at bringing young people together.
Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro has commended the young volunteers for giving their time to help keep their community clean and protect the environment.
Radrodro says the initiative demonstrates how young people can make a positive difference by taking responsibility for their surroundings.
He is encouraging youths to make responsible decisions, lead by example and become positive role models in their communities.
Radrodro also highlights the importance of education, technical and vocational training, employment and business opportunities in helping young people build a better future.
He says families, churches, community leaders and the government all share responsibility for guiding young people and protecting them from challenges such as illicit drugs.
The Minister stresses that building a better Lami begins with individuals taking responsibility and working together for the benefit of their community.
The clean-up campaign formed part of the Methodist youth groups' activities during the Diwali holiday period.
