HONIARA, Solomon Islands (Solomon Star, June 6) – More than a month ago, Honiara City was filled with flames and smoke because of the April rioting and looting, but yesterday a massive clean up campaign transformed Honiara, Solomon Islands, into a cleaner city.
Thousands of people from all works of life, the very young to the elderly armed with knives, rakes, brush knives, shovels, lawn mows and grass cutters took to the streets along Honiara to take part in the clean up.
Solomon Star was on the road yesterday to witness the hard working Honiara residents working from White River to Burnscreek.
The positive turn out indicated that people have taken heed of the request and came out in numbers.
Some of the firms wore uniforms as they lined up the roads to brush, weed, rake, burn and collect rubbish.
The overgrown grasses were leveled yesterday.
In fact the weather forecast yesterday was also good for working outdoors....
