The Vuvale Fun Day at Jittu Estate in Suva was a lively event, drawing together community members, including families, children, and youths, to engage in a variety of sports. Organized by Inspire Pacific, the event aimed to unite the community while addressing significant issues faced by young people across the country.
Ben Morrison, the director of Inspire Pacific, expressed his pleasure at the enthusiastic participation, hinting at a commitment to host more community-oriented events in the future. “This is definitely not the last time we will be having these types of events, and we hope sporting bodies can also host more activities like this, especially for the youths,” Morrison noted.
The event was particularly poignant, occurring in a neighborhood contending with high youth crime rates. Morrison highlighted that the Vuvale Fun Day aimed to involve young individuals in constructive and positive activities like sports to deter them from engaging in illegal behaviors.
This initiative not only underscores the value of community engagement but also marks a hopeful stride toward creating a safer, more nurturing space for the youth in Suva. By continually organizing such events, Inspire Pacific seeks to empower young people, encouraging them to embrace positivity and work together for the betterment of their community.
