Japan assists Western school

RUMGINAE community health worker training school on the outskirts of Kiunga, Western, has a new classroom.
The building was funded by the Japanese government under the grant assistance for grassroots human security project and is valued at K242,055.12.
The construction of the two-storey classroom is to help expand its capacity to educate more health workers.
The project aims to provide students and teachers with a much better learning and teaching environment.
This is the latest assistance offered to Papua New Guinea government by the Japanese government towards improving the delivery of health services.
Japanese Ambassador Hiroharu Iwasaki, who was present at the official opening of the classroom this week, congratulated the school on its successful implementation of the project.
He said the building should be looked after so that it could benefit students from across the country who wished to be future community health workers.
He hopes the project will strengthen the friendship Japan has maintained with PNG.
