Youths living in Musa Community at ATS settlement in Port Moresby surrendered their homebrew equipment to the community police today.
About 500 youths committed to refrain from this bad behaviour of producing homebrew and resorting to illegal activities.
The equipment included three buckets and two containers for brewing illegal alcohol, which was normally made from yeast and sugar.
Community leader and former Member of Parliament, Akoaoka Doi, thanked the youths for coming forward to surrender the equipment and those who vowed to stop illegal activities.
Doi told the youths to change for the better as they will be parents in the future and they need to start being responsible.
“This is a stepping stone to mould your character and be good citizens in the community and the country.
“This is the training ground to be good parents and example for the future generation.”
The Musa Community also held a friendly game of volleyball to bring the youths together.
This community has a total population of over 1000 people, in which 50 percent are youths.
