Small Islands Voice Youth Page in Cook Islands News

Every Saturday in 2003 a special youth section in the Cook Islands News has been sponsored by Small Islands Voice and The Rarotonga Environmental Awareness Programme (REAP). This page is called 'Small Islands Voice -- Cook Islands' and it features stories, articles, poems, drawings produced by youth in the Cook Islands. Photographs of youth events are also included. There are also puzzles and a crossword. According to feedback, the youth section is eagerly anticipated and widely read each week. Here are some samples of the creative work from Cook Islands youth:
