SIRC joins Clean Chinatown campaign

By Niniu Oligao

Solomon Islands Red Cross staff and volunteers joined a 'Clean Chinatown ' campaign organized by the Chinatown Community Police Post with the business houses, organizations, schools, and churches residing in Chinatown area today morning.

According to a Police officer (Mick Pongi), the prime objective of the initiative is to work closely with the community to create a crime-free and clean environment for business houses, schools, NGOs and churches in Chinatown to enjoy their activities.

He further appealed to those in Chinatown to take atleast half an hour or one hour on Wednesdays to clean the front and back of their premises, cutting grass short, and collect their rubbishes.

This Wednesday is the second time the SI Red Cross staff and volunteers enjoyed their outside clean up.

Thanks to those volunteers and staff who did the morning clean up.
