Shincheonji Volunteer Group Clean-up Campaign, Despite Heavy Rains, in Lautoka, Fiji
 |
| On 24th January, despite heavy rain, Shincheonji Volunteer Group Fiji Branch volunteers are carrying out a litter collection service along roadsides and drains in Lautoka, Fiji. |
With permission granted by the Lautoka City Council, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Fiji Lautoka branch continues to conduct their domestic clean-up campaign in Lautoka, Fiji.
On Saturday, 24th January 2026, from 8-10am, roughly 30 volunteers, including youth and children, scoured through the heart of Lautoka city, picking up plastic wrappers, cans, bottles, and paper waste strewn along the roadside walkway and drainage. Despite the rainy weather, they amassed 12 refuse sacks.
This activity was carried out with the cooperation of the Lautoka City Council, which assisted with waste collection and provision of on-site support to ensure smooth operation.
The purpose of this exercise was to maintain a beautiful natural environment, combat environmental pollution through the proper disposal of waste, educate our children to be more responsible citizens in keeping our cities and homes tidy, and to establish closer ties with communities.
Encapsulating the motivation behind the campaign, a representative stated:
“We aimed to improve the city's appearance and reduce environmental pollution, while also naturally instilling a sense of responsible citizenship in children.”
Indeed, the participation of child volunteers to protect the environment despite the heavy rain left a deep impression on the local residents.
Meanwhile, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Fiji Lautoka branch has been conducting regular urban clean-up activities to improve the health and hygiene of the local community, and plans to develop its scope to various volunteer activities in the future.
