The event, organized by the Ministry of Youth and Sports FIJI and the International Youth Fellowship, aims to raise awareness of the issues faced by Fijian youth, particularly the drug problem.

We learnt about the importance of youth development in Fiji and the government's efforts to combat the drug threat, which is worsening the spread of HIV and sexually transmitted infections throughout the country.

Our participants will help us create awareness about this issue and prevention measures among our community members.

We are so blessed to have Marama Naita Akemi Nagahara, she visited Mokani Village on Saturday 20th April and taught our children and youths on how to make Simple Fruit Juice (Carrot 🥕, Banana 🍌, Ginger). The Mokani Youth Club members managed to distribute fruit juice to our elders in the village.

Children learn by watching and following your example! If you eat healthy and make them healthy meals, then that’s what becomes normal for them.

But you've got to lead by example because children want to be just like you. Be what you want them to emulate. You'll end up being healthier too!

Marama Naita Akemi Nagahara (JICA Volunteer) provided Yoga Exercise to our children on Saturday 20th April, 2024. On weekends, she has been volunteered in providing health and wellbeing awareness to the Mokani Community.

𝙋𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝: Yoga enhances flexibility, muscle strength, and body awareness.
𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮: Meditation and yoga boost focus, memory, and cognitive skills.
𝙀𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚: Mindful practices help manage emotions, reducing stress for a balanced life.
𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙀𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙢: Our supportive environment elevates confidence, unlocking children's full potential.

On behalf of Mokani Youth Club , we thank Naita Emi from Kadavu for her kind support towards the people in the rural areas.

✨ Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is relax. This is why the Mokani Youth Club , Mokani Rugbý Club and Mokani Methodist Church Social Services Committee are inviting you to join us for a Yoga Exercise and learnt how to make fruit juice this Saturday, 20th of April, 2024.

✅Think of it as well-deserved pampering for your body and soul, with activities designed to foster deep healing and relaxation.
✅Perfect for elderly, adults and their youth, children and anyone looking to recharge their batteries in a supportive, caring environment.
