IN a bid to curb erosion of river banks, representatives from the Foundation for Rural Integrated Enterprises and Development planted trees along the Vitogo river bank on Saturday to mark World Earth Day.
The initiative is part of FRIEND’s Be Cool Cool the Earth launched by EU’s ambassador to the Pacific, Andrew Jacobs. FRIEND founder Sashi Kiran said they have had longstanding projects with the people of Vitogo with youths raising concerns on the consistent erosion of the river banks.
