Food rations that were supplied to the care centers holding an estimated 15 800 people that were displaced by the Mt Ulawun Volcano Eruption, are dwindling. This was revealed by Care Taker District Administrator Hubert Kava, when receiving a timely donation of four tonnes of rice from Trukai Industries recently. “The disaster team will have the donation arranged and transported to Bialla where our forward base operations centre is. From there they will have the rice distributed accordingly as we move forward in monitoring the food supplies in the care centres. Thank you for the support that Trukai Industries has given to us, this will help our people.” The rice donations were presented by the Trukai Industries to the West New Britain Provincial Disaster team on behalf of the displaced population who are currently residing in the nine care centres that have been set up. Trukai Industries CEO Alan Preston said they have always been there for the people of PNG, especially during times like this. “Through our Corporate Social Responsibility Program this donation will help sustain the affected population that have had their gardens and cash crops destroyed by the Mt Ulawun volcanic eruption.” Trukai Industries’ support highlights the company’s strong culture and values built on the responsibility to humanity, the environment, and ethical standards. Throughout Trukai Industries’ long history, they have come to the aid of Papua New Guineans, which is evident through the 1997 El Nino drought, the drought in 2015, the earthquake in 2018, recent floods and landslides.
