THE Buk bilong Pikinini (BbP) library at Lelehoa Primary School in Alotau, Milne Bay, has received more than K30,000 from the organisation’s sponsor, the Constantinou Group of Companies.
The donation was made to support the operation of the BbP Early Childhood Education programme at the school.
BbP executive officer Leanne Resson said they were grateful to Constantinou Group for the special educational gift for the children who had enrolled at the library learning centre.
“It will greatly boost the literacy levels in the area and go a long way to improving education outcomes,” she said.
BbP founder and chairlady Anne-Sophie Hermann said it was a wonderful gift for the library learning centre’s operations next year.
“Our programme is well known in Alotau for generating a cohort of children who are well prepared for school and who go on to have a very strong academic performance,” she said.
“Some parents even move to Lelehoa just to ensure their children can enrolled in our programme. We are so grateful to Hebou Constructions and George Constantinou for supporting us with an additional Library Learning centre and making sure that children in the regional areas of PNG don’t miss out.”
