As Fiji proudly celebrates Fiji Day, One Nation Our People (ONOP) took a unique and inspiring step to honor our nation—not just with flags and festivities, but through meaningful action.
Led by our dedicated youth group, ONOP organized a patriotic clean-up at Saweni and Lomolomo Beach in Lautoka. More than just a community service event, this initiative was a heartfelt tribute to Fiji’s legacy of environmental stewardship and its role as a global advocate for climate action.
“It’s not just an act of patriotism, but a tribute to the environmental leadership of our former leaders,”
– Abdul Zorahab, ONOP President
Under the guidance of Mr. Zorahab, the clean-up highlighted the vital link between civic pride and ecological responsibility. With plastic pollution threatening our coastlines and marine life, ONOP’s initiative encouraged young Fijians to take ownership of their environment.
Why It Matters
Fiji has been a strong voice on the international stage in the fight against climate change. From championing ocean health to advocating for vulnerable island nations, our country’s leadership has made waves globally. But true change begins at home—with each beach cleaned, with each piece of litter removed, we reinforce our collective commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
“By cleaning the beach, we are not only tackling pollution but also educating the young generation about ecosystems and conservation,”
– Abdul Zorahab, ONOP President
Youth Leading the Way
The ONOP youth group’s involvement showcases the power of youth-led initiatives in creating long-lasting impact. Their energy, commitment, and love for the environment turned a national holiday into a day of purpose.
Through this symbolic act, ONOP sends a powerful message: patriotism means protecting our paradise.
Highlights from the Day
Our volunteers worked tirelessly, collecting bags of trash, engaging in environmental discussions, and fostering a sense of unity among community members. The teamwork and smiles shared reminded us that small actions, when united, can drive great change.
