Centre grateful for rice donation

TRUKAI Industries Ltd donated rice to Mt Sion Centre for the Blind to cater for the needs of its students, teachers and community based rehabilitation officers.
Trukai Industries’ chief executive officer, Alan Preston said the centre was the type of organisation they supported through their corporate social responsibility programme under the TruCare brand.
“Trukai is all about community based initiatives that caters for marginalised groups of people,” he said.
Mt Sion Centre for the Blind with its holistic and educational based projects is a shining example of this.”
Principal for Mt Sion Justin Wagame expressed his gratitude to Trukai and said the rice donation would also be used during outreach programmes that catered for an excess of 700 people living with disabilities.
“The rice donation caters for all members of the centre but it comes in handy when the community based rehabilitation officers visit our site for their briefing sessions,” Wagame said.
The centre, located outside of Goroka, cared for more than 300 special needs students.
Preston said the company was excited to continue this support to organisations that represented people living with disabilities.
