Prime Minister James Marape congratulated the Sir Theo Foundation on its 10th anniversary, praising its significant contributions to health care and early childhood learning in Papua New Guinea. At a major fundraising dinner and concert event at the Airways Hotel, attended by the Prime Minister and his wife, Mrs. Rachael Marape, funds were raised through an auction and donations. The evening featured an opera rock performance by Spanish singer Ms. Cristina Ramos. Prime Minister Marape commended the Sir Theo Foundation for its support of the Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH) and the Buk bilong Pikinini program, while remembering the Foundation’s founding director, the late Sir Theophilus Constantinou. “The Constantinou family has contributed immensely to the development of PNG in the tourism and hospitality sector, creating thousands of jobs for Papua New Guineans and bringing in the tourism dollar in provinces where their chain of hotels has gone,” said Marape. “The late Sir Theophilus was the chairman of the Port Moresby General Hospital board and was very aware of the needs of PMGH.” “He started this Foundation in 2014 to help support our premier hospital, and although he has parted from us in 2019, Sir Theo’s legacy continues unabated.” “The Sir Theo Foundation continues to raise money every year to support PMGH, schools in NCD, and literacy programs such as Buk bilong Pikinini.” During the event, the Foundation also presented a cheque to support the Kokoda Track Foundation. “I commend and congratulate the Sir Theo Foundation on its 10th anniversary, and pay respects to the memory of its founder, my friend, the remarkable Sir Theophilus Constantinou,” Marape said.
