GGA seeks funds to attend 100th
year Jamborea
By FRANK RAI
THE Morobe Girl Guides Association (GGA), one of the oldest
organisations in the province, is seeking funds to take part in
the 100th year Jamborea in New Zealand early next year.
Provincial commissioner for Morobe GGA Mata Siserta reported
last Wednesday that the GGA in Morobe was operating on ‘zero
balance’.
She continued with a plea to the public to help with funds to
send representatives to the Jamborea.
Mrs Siserta told The National last week that GGA’s headquarters
in Port Moresby had requested eight members from the Morobe
branch to attend the Jamborea with other members around the
country.
“We are required to send eight (Girl Guides) to New Zealand for
the Jamborea but there are no funds to send our
representatives,” Mrs Siserta said, adding that if funds were
available, the Girl Guide Association would send more.
She said this was a special occasion for the GGA in PNG to
participate because it would bring back recognition on the
programmes that GGA performed in PNG, adding that Port Moresby,
Western and Morobe provinces had been selected to attend.
“I appeal to companies, business houses, Government agencies,
our local MPs and the general public to assist us with funds so
that we can send more Girl Guides to New Zealand,” Mrs Siserta
said.
She added that this would boost the morale of those who
participate and also the other members of the organisation.
Mrs Siserta said Morobe GGA had been a least recognised group in
the province but had silently achieved a lot by producing best
female administrators both in the public and private sectors.
She can be contacted on 4757504 or mobile 6904872 for donations
and financial assistance.
