Ramhaga Adventist Primary School is situated in the Huhu Local Level Government of the Alotau District, has received assistance in food and toiletries to the tune of K10,000 from the local district.
These items were presented to the school by the local MP on Monday (7 October), Isi Henry Leonard after a formal request was sent to the district office by the school.
The school, an Adventist Church-run institution comes under Northern and Milne Bay Mission.
The school in recent times has been challenged with insufficient supply of food for their boarding students.
With many students from Samarai-Murua enrolled there, the District had to chip in.
Member for Alotau, Ricky Morris also assisted the school with food supplies, however, that supply has since been depleted.
The school has planted its own garden food but the food is not ready for harvest.
Leonard said despite the school not being under his jurisdiction, it was only right for him to assist because of Samarai-Murua students and that the end of the year exams is underway for Grade 10sā.
“I saw the reports and the requests coming in and the need to support the school. The end of the year is critical as students must sit for their examinations.”
The Samarai – Murua MP also expressed his gratitude to the Member for Alotau Open for his support to the school.
Ramhaga Adventist Primary School Board Member and local mission representative Mr. Lester Toukmai thanked the Member and his team for responding to their calls for assistance.
He says these supplies are enough to take them through to the end of the academic year.
Among the food supplies, the school also requested for two drums of petrol and zoom. The district presented them a total of four drums.
