“The future belongs to our youth. Let’s not forget that, we’ll be gone and you’ll be there to lead the nation. In order to excel, they only need the right guidance and the right opportunities.”

He adds that any society is incomplete without the participation of young blood.

“Investing in the future generations of our country is a smart investment by the Fiji First Government, as it is not only forward-looking but provides an opportunity for our youths to actively participate in the growth of our economy.”

The grant was handed over to Vanuakula Youth Club and the Youth Farm Initiative assistance to Natalecake Village Youth Club.
