Buk Bilong Pikinini (BbP) recently received a significant financial boost aimed at supporting early childhood education, with a K70,000 donation presented by Mr. George Constantinou, Group Chairman and Governing Director of The Constantinou Group.
The presentation took place at BbP’s Pari Library Learning Centre (LLC) in Port Moresby.
Mr. Constantinou, representing both The Constantinou Group and The Sir Theo Foundation, said the support reflects the organizations’ commitment to education and their long-standing partnership with BbP.
He affirmed their ongoing dedication to literacy development in Papua New Guinea.
“We are pleased to support BbP it is a program that is very dear to our hearts.”
The Constantinou Group has supported BbP since 2008 and currently sponsors two Library Learning Centers at Nine Mile and Six Mile.
The Sir Theo Foundation, which backs the Three Mile Centre, will now extend its support to the Pari Centre, increasing access to books and literacy programs for children in the Motu Koita village community.
Parent representative, Jenny Tama, whose grandson attends the Pari LLC, expressed appreciation on behalf of local families.
“We have already seen how the learning center is helping our children.”
“Thank you for supporting their future.”
The Pari Library Learning Centre was established with the support of the Motu Koita Assembly (MKA) and the National Capital District Commission (NCDC), with infrastructure made possible through the leadership of Deputy NCD Governor and MKA Chairman, Dadi Toka Jnr.
This collaboration highlights the combined efforts of community leaders, corporate sponsors, and philanthropic foundations in promoting literacy and education nationwide.
Furthermore, BbP acknowledged the continued support of all partners and reaffirmed its mission to empower Papua New Guinean children through access to quality early childhood education.
