Helping hands of K5,000 for PNG to Paralympic Games

TWO good Samaritans used their initiative to donate K5,000 to the PNG Paralympic Committee to kick start its fundraising for the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing, China, next year.
The committee needs more than K100,000 to send a team of powerlifting and athletes to the Games.
The business partners, Bernard Chan and ageless Dadi Toka handed over the K5,000 cheque to PNGPC honourary president Dr Kefu Ma recently in Port Moresby.
Dr Ma thanked Chan and Toka for their financial support and was delighted with the help because his committee had not thought about asking the public for help.
“I am very thankful to Mr Chan and Mr Toka for their kind generosity to chip in their financial support.”
Dr Ma said PNG Paralympic Committee does not have enough money in its account to send a sizable team to the Beijing Games next year, and his committee will have to work extra hard to raise sufficient money.
He said he wants to do that in line with what the president of the International Paralympic Committee Sir Philip Craven have requested.
Sir Philip wanted more participants from PNG to take part in the Beijing Games.
