    Church and Government Representatives Discuss Ways to Increase Self-Reliance in Fiji

    Maria Senikuraciri is one of several individuals benefiting from the services of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Self Reliance Centre in Suva, Fiji.

    This week Maria met Fiji's Minister of Youth and Sports, Hon Laisenia Bale Tuitubou, when he and other government officials hosted Church representatives at a meeting to dicuss self-reliance.

    “Self reliance is something that all youths of Fiji should be taught,” Minister Tuitubou said.

    Accompanying the Hon Minister were other Ministry officials: Mr Iowane Soko; Mr Phillip Hereniko; Ms Venina Waqa; and Mr Kolinio Saukuru.

    Ned Taito, manager of the Latter-day Saints' Fiji Self-Reliance Centre, along with missionary couples who support the work in Fiji, represented the Church at the meeting.
     
    During the meeting Maria Senikuraciri shared with the Hon Minister and others in attendance that the self-reliance resources she has been exposed are helping her achieve her education and career goals.
