FRIEND organized a paper making workshop on 6th and 7th of March with some youths as part of the youth week. Nileshni Sekar disseminated the knowledge of paper making which she learnt in a paper making workshop in Suva organized by Secretariat of the South Pacific. Nileshni is thankful to the facilitator Prue Townsend from New Zealand for the knowledge she shared. The workshop was conducted using very basic equipment. Natural fibers as well as waste paper were used to make handmade paper. About 10 to 15 youths will benefit from the program. People have already shown interest in recycled paper and we are hoping that this project will grow and benefit youths
