The Cook Islands ministry of health and the environment service have combined to produce a goodie bag for the teams who will be coming to Rarotonga for the Pacific Mini Games.
The aim is to encourage the athletes to safeguard their health and to protect our environment while they are enjoying our hospitality.
The goodies are packed into a reusable bag labelled 'Safe Games' on one side and 'O au e makona aorangi' (Mangaian for I'm an environment champion) on the other.
Health and environment hope the visitors will use the bags while shopping so that they don't need plastic bags.
Each bag contains a Safe Games cap, a pair of Vaka jandals, a refillable water bottle - no need for throw-away plastic bottles - his and her condom packs, a wrist band and pens as well as leaflets about STDs.
The organisers say that after most large gatherings of people for sport or entertainment the rate of STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) increases.
They hope that a timely reminder in a fun package will make people more aware of the problem and ensure that they take care.
Our mini games should be an enjoyable time and nobody wants to find they have an STD when everyone goes home.
