Local Schools Receive Over K5,500 Worth of Stationery in Generous Donation from IBSUniversity and Nadesalingam Foundation
In a significant effort to support local schools and students, IBSUniversity, in partnership with the Nadesalingam Foundation for Education Limited, donated K5,500 worth of essential stationery, including A4 paper reams and exercise books. The initiative was spearheaded by Mr. Mateulo Olewale, a second-year student from the School of Economics and Development Studies. The initiative reached over 13,000 students and staff across five schools in the nation’s capital.
Mr. Peter Wemin, Deputy Head Teacher of New Erima Junior High School, shared his thoughts:
“I’ve taught in various community and primary schools around the country for the past 49 years, and I’m about to reach 50 years of teaching. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. Although there are several universities and colleges in Papua New Guinea, this is the first time I’ve received such a visit. I’m truly grateful for IBSUniversity and its students for this initiative, and I hope it becomes a regular event.”
Similarly, Holy Rosary Catholic Primary School’s Head Teacher, Mr. Eluda, said:
“This is a major initiative and the first of its kind at Holy Rosary. We’re grateful for this timely visit, especially during a period when government funding is delayed. The donation of much-needed stationery supplies will help us complete the final term of this year successfully. The students from IBSUniversity clearly understand the struggles of Papua New Guineans, and this initiative reflects that awareness.”
Mr. Rinniky further emphasized the impact of the donation:
“We served over 13,000 students and staff across the five schools. These supplies will help ease their day-to-day operations and support their educational goals.”
This initiative is part of Nadesalingam Foundation for Education Limited IBSUniversity’s broader commitment to community service, empowering students not only academically but also instilling in them the importance of giving back to the community. The Nadesalingam Foundation for Education Limited, which sponsored the initiative, continues to play a vital role in supporting education in Papua New Guinea.
