A Meaningful Day Dedicated to Youth Education and Awareness
On Sunday, 7 December 2025, the Rotary Club of Salazie Brisée Verdière organised a full-day educational and recreational activity for 35 students and 20 members of staff from Baie aux huîtres Government School. This initiative was designed to promote learning beyond the classroom, encourage responsible citizenship, and support the holistic development of young people through structured exposure and awareness.
The programme commenced with an enriching visit to PP Viju’s vintage car collection at Bonne Mère, offering participants a unique cultural and historical experience. This was followed by an engaging session at the Centre Équestre de Belle Mare, where students interacted with horses and enjoyed supervised horse rides. The day continued with a picnic and briyani lunch on the beach, providing a relaxed setting for social interaction and reflection.
In line with Rotary’s commitment to prevention and education, the participants also attended a drug awareness session conducted by ADSU, highlighting the dangers and consequences of drug use. The presentation included a live demonstration of various substances, making the session particularly impactful and educational for the young audience. The Club extends its sincere appreciation to ADSU for their valuable contribution.
The National Coast Guard (NCG) further supported the initiative by delivering an awareness session on public beach safety, responsible use of coastal areas, and essential precautions to be taken while at sea.
This activity strongly aligns with Rotary’s Monthly Themes:
📘 September – Basic Education and Literacy, through experiential learning and awareness
🌱 October – Community Economic Development, by empowering youth with knowledge and life skills
💙 December – Disease Prevention and Treatment, through preventive education on substance abuse
The Rotary Club of Salazie Brisée Verdière remains committed to youth empowerment, education, and community service, and expresses its gratitude to all partners, volunteers, and participants who contributed to the success of this meaningful initiative.
