Rugby Role Model Aidan Toua Kicks Off Day of Purpose with Gerehu Juniors Rugby Star Aidan Toua Leads Community Feeding for Young Athletes in Gerehu.
Over 100 young athletes from the Kerehu Juniors Rugby League Club kicked off their Saturday with more than just a meal — they received a powerful lesson in discipline and determination from Papua New Guinea rugby legend Aidan Toua.
Held at the Gerehu Sports Field and organized by the Streetsmart Initiative, the early morning community feeding program aimed not only to nourish bodies but also to inspire minds.
Aidan Toua, known both for his international rugby career and his commitment to youth development, led the event with heartfelt engagement.
“Nutritional discipline isn’t just about fueling your body — it’s about respecting your goals,” Toua told the young players.
He emphasized that while natural talent is valuable, it’s daily habits, proper nutrition, training, and consistent effort that ultimately determine success.
The program provided breakfast for over 100 children and youth, many of whom look up to Toua as both a role model and a reflection of what’s possible through hard work.
His words resonated deeply, reinforcing the idea that rugby — and sport more broadly — is a tool for character-building and lifelong growth.
The Streetsmart Initiative, which continues to make meaningful impacts across Port Moresby communities, uses sport as a platform to promote leadership, discipline, and opportunity.
Saturday’s event exemplified that mission, reminding all involved that lasting change often begins with small, shared moments.
