The Ministry of Education organized a social event to clean up the Suva foreshore over the weekend.
The Education Social Enrichment Committee (ESEC) coordinator, Mrs Miriama Namosimalua said the activity was an effort to inspire children and the community to clean up and conserve the beautiful environment for all.
Gloves, sacks and refreshments were provided to the participating ministry staff members and their families before the different groups were sent to their allocated areas.
The ESEC’s message is to create public awareness of littering and which is everyone’s responsibility to keep public areas clean and visually attractive.
"I wish to encourage everyone to take up initiatives like this to bring about civic pride and become responsible citizens,” concluded Mrs. Namosimalua.
The committee have started implementing its plan for the environment cleanup for the year.
