Cakau Haara

Hows it going guys, so I have to admit it has been a while since I posted anything! But unfortunately, time isn’t on our side. Finals for this semester are just around the corner and there are heaps of things that we all need to get sorted with our courses and that!
So yesterday was a great day for us, I along with a few other members of the CTS sort of spread our wings abit and became founding members of the new environmental group (under WWF) called the Cakau Haara (CH), which directly translates to Coral (Fijian) and Green (Hindi). We came up with this name because we plan to raise awareness on various environmental issues from coral bleaching to logging, hence Cakau or coral to signify our marine work and Haara or green to signify our work on the land.
Yesterday was our first official meeting. We sat down and planned our objectives for the rest of the year. I have to admit here, I am pretty excited about this. We’re young, full of energy and passion for saving the environment and best of all committed. Our plans included everything from recycling paper, to promoting environmentalism through theatre and art in schools all over Suva. We plan upcoming projects at the Pacific Youth Festival in July and the Hibiscus in August. Hopefully everything goes to plan.
So basically, a break down for you, members of the CTS have now formed the CH.......nothing but fun and great things up ahead!

woot
