They threw away their old worn out jerseys for the new Lae Biscuit sponsored jerseys to complete their Papua New Guinea 47 years independence games today (Monday 26/09/22) at Buimo prison in Lae.
Detainees at Papua New Guinea’s second largest prison the Buimo jail in Morobe province end their independence games today running out in Lae Biscuit Company sponsored jerseys.
And more than the bleak dark shades of prison, the Lae Biscuit Company donation of six sets of jerseys to the participating teams gives them a brighter outlook than the crimes that brought them behind bars.
Apart from the jersey sets, the Lae Biscuit Company Marketing team led by Manageress Denise Girey delivered more than 100 cartons of Snax noodles on Friday topping up from the previous day’s donation of Snax Biscuit cartons as well.
For the prison, being within the confines of barricades doesn’t stop them to acknowledge their patriotism of PNG as their mother land according to Buimo Prison Welfare Officer, Sargent Jack Abu.
Sargent Abu told the Lae Biscuit team that indeed they can’t go out and celebrate independence with the rest of PNG knowing very well the splendor displays out there but such events hosted within the prison makes them one in spirit with the rest of PNG.
‘’Yes we are within the prison confines and seeing each other only, but through such games we are in unity,’’ Sargent Abu said.
Sargent Abu said independence being one of their biggest hosted events every year they now look forward to Christmas and as always, it’s the Lae Biscuit Company that gives them hope to one day make it out better and reuniting with loved ones.
Sargent Abu thanked the Lae Biscuit Company for always coming out big and lending a hand to put the smiles on detainees faces engaging in events within the prison confines just like the rest of PNG outside the prison.
The Lae Biscuit Company has maintained its belief in creating and supporting the community by providing assistance to community projects, events, sporting events, and disaster relief. Lae Biscuit will always strive to give back to the community.
The two weeks Buimo prison PNG 47 years’ independence games ends today.
