Brewer donates K15,000 to provincial govt for relief

 A COMPANY has donated K15,000 to the Milne Bay provincial disaster relief committee for people affected by Cyclone Ita.

South Pacific Brewery PNG Ltd managing director Stan Joyce, while presenting a cheque to Milne Bay Governor Titus Philemon, said the company had been in the country for 62 years.

Joyce said South Pacific Brewery had a long history of assisting people in provinces.

The assistance was to support the provincial government in providing relief supplies to the people affected by the cyclone which ravaged Milne Bay in April.

He said the company appreciated lives of people not only in the city but also in rural areas.

He said “ it is the role of the company to re-invest in the community which we come from and where we earn our income”.

He said people in rural areas lived a fairly simple lifestyle and it was important that their gardens recovered quickly after being damaged by flooding
