'Hello everyone , this Corona virus is not going to go away this year , 213 countries on planet earth has it and PNG is one of them, hence our vigilant efforts to contain its spread.
This will be a hard year but we will pull through by God’s grace.
For those in our cities and towns who are unemployed and with no source of food, we will mobilize foods to deliver to your family.
I ask all our Christian churches in the cities and towns where ever you are located to do a survey in your neighborhood on who amongst us need a hand in terms of basic food.
For those of us employed , I am initiating a PM’s ‘Helpim Wantok’ charity for this effort so please join me if you can afford. I am directing half my salary and allowances into that account to help those who are in need in this trying times.
I will start by buying food from farmers and growers and Central Province and those in Morobe for Port Moresby and Lae cities as first urban areas to assist and help.
So those who are unemployed and struggling in our communities please go to a recognized church near you and give your family name and address.
Our two city municipal authorities plus Governors and MPs will work with me in this area because corona fight requires lockdown and isolation hence many of you who self sustain are struggling hence this measure we are taking is necessary.
Our people in ENBP has shown the way in helping with food to those villages that were directed to lock down and be isolated.
Our Melanesian Christian character of helping those in need is called upon now at individual level while Government to will do our best to fight and assist.
Keep a look out for the formal cyber launch of the ‘Helpim Wantok’ initiative and wherever you can help please indicate.
God bless PNG!
