Trukai gives rice for relief

TRUKAI Industries Ltd has donated 20,000 packets of one-kilogramme Roots rice worth over K60,000 to assist the disaster relief efforts in Hela and Southern Highlands.
Trukai Industries chief executive Greg Worthington-Eyre said the people needed urgent assistance and the company was happy to work with Oil Search to deliver the aid.
He said the donation was part of the company’s community contribution through its corporate social responsibility programme.
“Our brand TruCare serves to re-emphasise Trukai’s dedication to PNG and we are pleased to show our support as a Papua New Guinean company by giving back to our communities in their time of need,” Worthington-Eyre said.
“We will endeavour to reach out to the affected families and communities.
“Natural disasters are unavoidable and can cause a lot of damage to food crops, which affects people’s diet.
“During these trying times, TruCare is an assurance that Trukai does care and is prepared to contribute to our people’s livelihood, health and wellbeing.
“We send our sympathies and prayers to all those affected by this tragic disaster.”
