Brian Bell on board to promote ‘educational’ toy

BRIAN Bell Homecentres have come on board to support Boss Crew PNG, a local small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in a worthy cause that shines light on a critically endangered species and an iconic native animal to PNG, the cuscus, specifically the black spotted cuscus.
The Boss Crew PNG custom-designed first cuddly plush black spotted cuscus (educational toy) named Kulau, is available and now sold at the Brian Bell Homecentres in Port Moresby.
This is to help spread the awareness of the growing need to protect this PNG icon, according to Brian Bell group chairman Ian Clough.
Buying Kulau the Cuscus will go a long way to assist with conservation efforts linked with the Tenkile conservation alliance which works extensively in the same cause fighting to save endangered species of animals in PNG.
“We strongly support this great concept and are happy that Brian Bell Homecenters is supporting a cause that is promoting the conservation and preservation of a national icon that is part of the tradition and history of a native PNG animal.”
The Brian Bell Group supported the local SME through the long reach of their supply chain and logistics to assist Boss Crew PNG bring Kulau the Cuscus to PNG.
Brian Bell Homecenters have donated 815 Kulau the Cuscus plush toys to Boss Crew to be sold around the country in an effort to raise much needed funds for this conservation cause.
Boss Crew PNG founder Meriba-May Igara, was thrilled to have her vision come to life through Kulau.
She said she thought about this concept a few years ago and while it took some time to get to this point, she was happy with the outcome and wished to acknowledge her Lord Jesus Christ for blessing her with this wonderful opportunity.
Igara extended her thanks to Brian Bell, Clough, John Lane and team for their invaluable support and generous donation to Boss Crew PNG.
She said it was an honour to partner with Brian Bell.
She also thanked her family and friends for encouraging her in this endeavour.
The black spotted cuscus is the largest cuscus species in PNG, and it can be found throughout the northern coast ranges, from Madang to West Papua and weigh as much as seven kilogrammes and grows to a length of 64cm.
