Catholic school gets donation from SDA youths

Faith

A group of Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) youths have donated food stuff to teachers at the Catholic- agency Faniyufa Sacred Heart Primary School in Goroka last Thursday.
Members of Goroka-based Adventist youth ministry also cleaned the Sacred Heart Primary School and donated a K1,000 worth of food stuff to the teachers as “token of appreciation for educating children in the area”.
Youth leader Joy Zebedee said their generosity was in line with the ministry’s catchphrase: “I will go and sustain a community.”
Zebedee said they resolved to clean and donate food stuff to teachers after completing a ‘Youth week of prayer in Faniufa on the southern fringes of Goroka.
“Breaking religious barriers to help others is the best thing one can do in a Christian society like Papua New Guinea,” she said.
Many commentators said it was the “very first time in the history of the Sacred Heart Primary that a group from the SDA church had formally entered their premises to clean and donate food stuff to the teachers.
Head teacher Moses Kamel thanked the Faniufa Adventist youths ministry for “its bold and historical decision to clean the institution and donate food stuff”.
Kamel said: “Our school strives to instil Christian values and principles in the students, so they can become good citizens.”
