Prime Minister?s Cup kicks off

By Niccola Hazelman-Siona

It?s all about the push for healthier living, developing the love of sport at a young age and the overall need to be, and stay, healthy. The Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture(MESC) by way of their Fiafia Sports Programme kicked off their annual Prime Minister?s Cup Tournament.

According to Assistant Chief Executive Officer of MESC?s Sports Division, Luatua Seumanutafa Semi Epati, this is part of promoting healthy living through sports. ?The World Health Organization(WHO) predicts that in the next five years, children will die before their parents.?

?It is this reason that we have decided to stress the importance of health at a very young age.? ?75 percent of deaths in the Pacific region are a result of Non Communicable Diseases (NCD), stemming from poor diets, lack of exercise and so forth.?
