The University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) West New Britain Students Association (WNBSA) held their first fundraiser for the year over the weekend at the National Football Stadium to start raising funds for their end of the year programs.
The UPNG WNBSA President, Mr. Michael Jr Reu said that they need to raise over K30, 000 to support their end of year programs in West New Britain.
“We plan on conducting an open forum at the end of the year at Bialla and Kimbe towns where we will talk about the law and order issues in the province.”
“We will also be carrying out surveys in 3 or 4 hospitals in the province to find out what they don’t have and what we can do assist them in providing a better service to people.”
“We will also be conducting Financial Literacy Training for small business owners in the formal and informal sector in Talasea district and Nakanai district as well.”
Mr. Reu said that they have more fundraising activities coming up before the end of the year.
Their major fundraiser will be a West New Britain Night fundraising dance; however, they haven’t finalized the details yet.
He added that apart from those awareness and education programs, they will also have a cleanathon in Bialla and Kimbe town as part of their program.
He also thanked the executives and committee of the student association for working hard to make sure the first fundraiser was a success.
