Company and charities donate desks, chairs

A transport company and two charity organisation donated new sets of desks and chairs to Baruni Primary School in Port Moresby on Tuesday.
The 50 desks and chairs were handed over to the school’s head teacher, Irene Gaudi and her students by representatives from EastWest transport with partners from the Rotary Club and Soroptimist International.
Gaudi expressed her gratitude towards the three organisations for the donation.
“Desks and chairs are often a significant expense for schools in the country and this generous contribution will make a world of difference for our students,” she said.
The desks were made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Rotary Club and City Mission’s carpentry programme in Port Moresby, who constructed the desks using locally sourced materials.
EastWest played a vital role by assembling and delivering the sets to the school, ensuring they were ready for immediate use.
EastWest transport commercial general manager, Steamships logistics, Nicholas Bury, said they were committed to supporting the surrounding communities in which the company operates.
“Baruni village is home to many of our valued employees, and we have recognised a critical need to support the local school,” he said.
“This donation will contribute to enhancing the learning experience for students and create a more comfortable and conducive learning environment, allowing students in Baruni to thrive and reach their full potential.”
EastWest Transport’s collaboration with the Rotary Club and Soroptimist International demonstrates the company’s commitment to investing in local communities.
