Situated in a rural settlement and performing tonight, the students of Tavua District Secondary School hope to use their performance at Tadra Kahani to highlight the many social-ills that plague the nation and hope our leaders take notice of their concerns.

Students of Tavua District have had to endure several challenges, seeing their parents struggle to make ends meet in the gold mining town and how financial problems, peer pressure and lack of opportunities has crept into their everyday lives.

Media Liaison Officer Torika Lewaca said based on their theme, "People Arise - The World is Dead", they hope the nation will stand up and recognize what is happening in individual communities around the country.

She said without action, our future generations could be lost.
