It was all smiles for the children and youth of Nawaisomo, Nagonenicolo, Naitasiri as they’ll now enjoy playing in a new sport ground.

This is after the Minister for Youth and Sports, Jese Saukuru, handed over the Nawaisomo Primary School sports ground.

Saukuru says there’s a lot of untapped talent in the highlands and the new ground can help breed them to become successful in sports whether at local or international level.

Nawaisomo Primary School received a 100 meters x 70 meters sports ground which cost the Ministry of Youth and Sports more than $49,800.
