Youths in Malaita Province have been encouraged to take the lead in helping to reduce the habit of littering in Auki town.
Youth Coordinator of Malaita Province, Frank Samo Sari, said the youths will take on this task as a training opportunity for themselves, as they are the responsible future leaders of the province.
Sari made these comments during a briefing session at the assembly conference room on Monday, October 23.
He stated that they will be responsible for picking up any rubbish lying around the town whenever they are present, and they will help to spread awareness and remind the public to be responsible for their own waste.
He emphasized that the youth are part of the development in Malaita, and they need to start taking action.
“You are the leaders of Malaita Province, part of the development for Malaita and the Solomon Islands as a whole.
“So, whenever you are in our town and see that there is littering or see someone throwing rubbish in the wrong place, please try to remind them to be responsible and throw their rubbish in the right place and be responsible for their own rubbish,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sari warned them to stop distancing themselves from the developments and governance of Malaita Province.
He reminded them that they have to forget about their pasts, move on, and be active in whatever developments they are assigned to do.
“I want to warn and remind you to please forget about your pasts and create a new picture of yourselves.
“You are taking up a very important role in the developments in your province, and that is why this program was organized for you,” he said.
The youth will focus their six weeks of training on agriculture, forestry, and the fisheries sector.
This six-week training program is organized by the Malaita Provincial Government and made possible by the National Youth Congress and its partners.
