In a heartwarming community event held at the Gerehu Sports Centre, the Streetsmart Initiative, in partnership with Star Public Welfare Services, donated 150 school bags to children and youth from the Kerehu Juniors Rugby League Club. While the gesture may seem modest, the significance ran much deeper. For many of the recipients, this was their first proper school bag — a small but powerful symbol of dignity, encouragement, and belief in their potential. "Every child deserves to walk into a classroom feeling prepared, confident, and seen," said a representative from Streetsmart Initiative. "This isn’t just about school supplies — it’s about restoring pride and promoting access to education." Families and community members gathered to witness the moment, as children proudly received their bags in an atmosphere filled with excitement and gratitude. The initiative is part of Streetsmart's broader mission to uplift underprivileged youth by providing opportunities both on and off the playing field. With continued support from groups like Star Public Welfare Services, Streetsmart is not only nurturing young rugby talent but also investing in future leaders, helping to build stronger, more resilient communities.
