Theodist Limited once again supported the Bomana Prison Rehabilitation Program through its donation of crucial stationery supplies, displaying Theodist’s ongoing commitment to supporting education in the country.
According to Theodist, the donation reflects on their belief in giving people the chance to turn their lives around.
Kevin Anderson, National Sales & Marketing Manager at Theodist Limited, said he was proud to be able to help with educational initiatives.
“One way we’re assisting in improving communities is by supporting this program.”
“We think everyone has the capacity to change and develop, and the Bomana Prison Rehabilitation Program is performing vital work,” he said
For more than a decade, the Theological Society’s leader, Pastor Simon Kuman, has operated a Bible school within Bomana Prison.
He expressed gratitude to Theodist for their assistance, which has been very helpful to his students.
“It means a lot to the inmates, many of whom told us after last year’s contribution that they haven’t had access to basic supplies like this for years.”
In addition to teaching religion, the Bible School assists inmates in learning to read and write as well as other skills they will need after they are released from jail.
The curriculum has been so successful that 19 offenders were able to read and write for the first time when they graduated last year.
There are now 200 male and female inmates in the program, 40 of whom are enrolled pupils, and 10 Correctional Services Officers who are involved in the larger project.
Theodist’s donated stationery will support the inmates’ academic and personal growth, providing them with the means to better their life.
Theodist is dedicated to promoting literacy and education in Papua New Guinea.
