School in Mekeo gets new library from BSP

STUDENTS at St Paul’s High School in Veifa’a, Kairuku-Hiri, Central, have a new school library thanks to BSP Financial Group Ltd (BSP).
The BSP Boroko branch team was at Veifa’a to open the school’s new library and present some items last Saturday.
School chairman Joe Mega thanked BSP for building the library through its community project initiative.
Mega said libraries were a valuable part of any school and commended the bank for their help.
“We are humbled by BSP’s support towards schools not only in the city but having travelled here with the current road condition; you made it through to the rural Mekeo area,” he said.
According to a statement from BSP, the library project took three months to complete at a cost of K30,000.
BSP upgraded an old classroom, converting it into a library and donated books and shelves including a solar-powered computer.
St Paul’s headboy John Cornelius Kavo said the students were grateful to BSP and excited that they had a new library with books and a computer.
He said the books would help them develop good reading habits and improve their English and communication skills.
