The youths from Takamaka will benefit from a donation of 70,000 SCR which will go towards the district’s Youth Development Programme. It was during a symbolic Handing Over Ceremony on Monday 15th April 2024, that the Seychelles Consul General in Shanghai, China, Dr. Sydney To, presented the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, Mr. Sylvestre Radegonde, with the cheque.
