The Ela Motors branch in Port Moresby funded the refurbishment of the ablution block at St. Theresa Elementary and Primary School in Badili, which was opened recently.
The company donated K119, 495 through its Corporate Social Responsibility Assistance Program, which supported the maintenance and refurbishment of the school’s ablution block.
The refurbished school facility was a much-needed improvement for the school, which had been operating without proper toilet facilities for many years.
The refurbished ablution block was officially opened on March 8th and features modern facilities, including new toilets and sinks.
Mr. Eymard Joseph, Ela Motors’ Chief Operating Officer (COO) – Corporate, and Mr. Ashley Huston, COO – Retail, were present at the opening ceremony, as was National Facilities Development Manager, Adam Boland.
Mr. Eymard Joseph emphasized the company’s commitment to the communities in which it does business in.
“On behalf of the management and staff of Ela Motors, we are privileged to be part of the development of this school,” he said.
The event was a celebration of the school’s commitment to providing high-quality education, and the improved facilities and resources will undoubtedly benefit the students.
In appreciation of the support, the school presented the Ela Motors team with bilums, fresh garden produce and a pig.
In addition, the school will receive a donation of 20 computers later as part of its mission to provide high-quality education to local children.
