Students at the Light Bearers Early Childhood Learning Centre will not worry about school stationary next year, after receiving Digicel Backpacks full of school supplies.
In the true spirit of giving this holiday season, Digicel PNG brought cheer to Light Bearers Early Childhood Learning Centre located in Bomana, Port Moresby.
A non-government organization, the Centre is a recipient of an open-air classroom built in partnership with Digicel’s Foundation housing over 150 students.
The school was first established in 2017 and this year marks its seventh year of operation in the community. The program started with a fantastic welcome speech by advanced grade student Tina Pele, followed by prayer and a moment of silence dedicated to the co-founder and Head Teacher of Light Bearers Early Childhood Learning Center, the late Mrs. Florence Sam; who passed away in October this year.
The activities began with Digicel Staff Volunteers led by Head of Marketing, Tessa Valace gifting each student with a Christmas gift as well as a Digicel backpack filled with school supplies for the next year.
Following the ceremony, the students and teachers were treated to a mini party with refreshments and drinks to further celebrate the end of the school year.
Lorna McPherson, Senior Vice President & Chief Sales Officer commented, “It’s always heart-warming to see the smiles and joy on the children’s faces when our team visits the Light Bearers Early Childhood Learning Centre.
“Holidays are a time of reflection and we as a business and individually reflect on our blessings, we are truly honored to share with those who may need a little extra.
At Digicel, we believe in using our resources to make a positive difference in our communities and partnering with the Light Bearers Early Childhood Learning Center allows us to do just that.”
