City Pharmacy group gives stationery to students in Central

More than 170 students of Mirigeda Primary School in Central have been supplied with basic school stationery by City Pharmacy Ltd Group.
The exercise books, pencils, erasers, rulers, colouring pens, pens and others were presented yesterday.
City Mission marketing and fundraising coordinator Stella Navuru said the donation was timely.
She said Mirigeda was a school run by a non-government organisation which depended on such donations.
“This stationery will also be supplied to our children who are living with their mothers at our Seif Haus at Ela Beach for their mini-preparatory classes,” Navuru said.
“Our children at the Seif Haus, with their mothers, also need to do certain educational pastime activities while they are taken care of.”
CPL representative Oti Lasagavibau said this was the first time the company was donating school stationery “as we embark on one of our objectives of ensuring children go to school and not stay home”.
“We want to see all our children who go to school have in place their basic necessities to do their school work,” Lasagavibau said. “These children were enrolled from the nearby villages of Gaire, Barakau, Tubusereia, Gereka and Dogura for programmes in early childhood learning, elementary and primary education up to grade 4.”
