YESTERDAY’S tree planting exercise carried out by the 129 captains of teams featuring in the Fiji Bitter Marist 7s was a landmark statement for the Damodar Group of Companies.

These were the sentiments of the group’s chief executive Div Damodar as the captains gathered at the Damodar Arts Village in Pacific Harbour to conduct it.

“”It’s a landmark statement that we’re putting out there that the environment is very important to us, for us; not just for us Fijians but also for the Pacific. And also, that brings back to what we’re doing here at the Damodar Arts Village, is bringing back our culture and sports and the environment to the youth of Fiji so it’s part of our program, what we’re doing here and we’re looking forward to that education going further,” he said.

He added the tree planting initiative was carried out in partnership with the Ministry of Forestry.
