Malaysian Association PNG came on board today as a donor partner to Life PNG Care with a donation of K30, 000 paid to RH Hyper Market in Port Moresby to supply Life PNG Care with food supplies. The funding paid to RH will see Life PNG Care get monthly supplies of food rations from the Hyper Mart until the the K30, 000 is fully used. Life PNG Care Director Mr. Collin Pake Takio said he was grateful for the donation which was timely especially with the pandemic and will surely sustain children who are seeking refuge at Life PNG Care. “One day our natural resources of gas and oil will finish and the only thing we will have left that will build this nation is our human resource,”said Life PNG Care Director Mr Collin Pake Takio. “Our future is our children here!” Mr Pake said this year is the 6th year that the Malaysian Association of PNG has partnered with Life PNG Care to continue their support in cash with their annual charity funds and with food rations which have benefited the 75 residential kids at the Life PNG Care Centre as well as the non residential kids who often come to the centre to get help. “If there is anything that a country wants to do and wish for, it is to invest in these little lives, these future, like the Malaysian Association and other Associations and organisations that often commit to social community obligations.” Mr Pake also highlighted that feeding the 75 residential kids and other non residential kids on a daily bases is definitely not an easy and cheap task, because in just 2 days a 10kg rice bag finishes, half is cooked today and the other half the next day. He said on the weekends more street kids come in to the Life PNG Care yard and they cannot be chased out, and to have Malaysian Association come on board to support with food rations is very much appreciated especially at this time of the pandemic when everyone is struggling financially. Malaysian Association PNG Chairman for the Charity Fundraising Committee Mr Ivan Lu said the Malaysian Association PNG has the heart to help the vulnerable kids in PNG and they support the good work Mr Pake is doing. Mr Lu said the Malaysian families here are happy to support the needy people here in the country and they have being doing this charity work for 19 years now giving back to the needy Papua New Guineans through their Charity Fundraising.
