People in Malo Village of New Ireland have now chosen to break political barriers and choose service over politics.
In a recent gathering in Malo Village in the Matalai LLG in Namatanai, the Community witnessed the opening of a double classroom by Namatanai MP, Walter Schnaubelt.
The Namatanai MP and Civil Aviation Minister were given a traditional welcome ceremony signifying their entrance into the area.
During the opening of the double classroom for Malo Primary School, MP Schnaubelt said the future of the Province depends on the investment by levels of Government for children to be educated in a better environment.
“It’s for the future generation of Malo who deserve to have a proper classroom”, he added.
The double classroom cost K60,000 and would be used by Grade 7 and 8 students.
The Namatanai MP also committed K50,000 for the construction of teachers houses and a school library. Schnaubelt also pledged around K80,000 for schools in the area. These include Malo Primary, Malo Elementary and a Phonics Early Learning Centre.
Malo Head teacher, Bernadine Neantal, thanked the Namatanai District Development Authority for the timely funding to see the double classroom completed and ready for use.
Mrs. Neantal said the school is a Level 4 institution and the Upper Primary will benefit from the new classroom.
“We are privileged to be supported by the Namatanai DDA for change and progress for our children”, said the Head Teacher.
A Community representative said for a very long time no government funding was allocated to assist improve health services in the area.
Malo Aid Post Chairman, Tomarum Emes said not only education is important but health is also equally important. Emes said the funding will surely improve the status of the Aid Post for people to access health services in this part of New Ireland.
He said they will utilize the K10,000 to build a new maternity wing and immunization room.
