A group of thirty youths from Makolei in Bua completed a weeklong dynamic training conducted by the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The training promotes government agenda of integrated approach where government ministries come together to support each other.
It is also the second training organised by the ministry’s northern division office and was closed by permanent secretary, Mr Joseva Sania this morning.
Addressing the 30 participants, Mr Sania expressed how the Ministry of Youth has been working hard to reach out to the youth in the remote areas of Fiji.
“Training is brought to you because we want to have an informed youth population who can contribute effectively to their community,” said Mr Sania.
According to Mr Sania, it is a great challenge to work on youth who are school leavers because there is a bridging work to be done between school life and community life.
“We have been hearing about the empowerment training youths in the country have been receiving and we are thankful for to receive this Dynamic Training,” said Makolie Youth President, Kusitino Naita.
Stakeholders that participated in the training included the Ministry of Women and Social Welfare, Agriculture, Police, Cooperative and Health.
Youth of Makolei also received farming tools and equipment from the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
