More than 500 villagers at Lakolam and neighboring villages in Wabag and Kompiam-Ambum Districts in Enga Province have joined in a three day celebration, to commemorate the opening of Mr Jacob (Mukere) Luke’s home and the Concerdia Lutheran School.
Jacob Luke, who is the owner of the Mapai Trucking Company initiated these projects under the Jacob Luke Foundation.
Lakolam was once a tribal war zone and war torn village.
Since the establishment of the Jacob Luke foundation, Mr Luke has been working closely with the villagers to bring unity and to restore peace in the area.
These efforts were based on the foundation’s theme, ‘Building the foundation, to fixing the future generation’.
Since yesterday, people started flocking in to the area bringing along with them contributions to show their support and appreciation for these new developments.
The projects will officially be launched on Friday, 17th of June.
Invited guests include the Governor General Sir Bob Dadae, Bishop of ELC PNG Reverend Dr Jack Urame, Education Secretary, Dr Uke Kombra, and Minister for National Planning and Monitoring, Rainbo Paita.
