Emergency appeal launched to support Sacred Heart Uruh Primary School in Pinapel
An urgent Emergency Appeal has been launched to address a severe food shortage affecting students at Sacred Heart Primary School in Pinapel, Nissan Island.
The appeal, initiated by the Department of Community Government's Directorate of Disaster & Emergency and the Department of Education, and supported by the Office of the National Regional Member for North Bougainville, aims to ensure that education continues uninterrupted until December.
The critical food shortage has prompted the school to request a shortening of official school hours. This appeal seeks immediate assistance from schools in the eastern link of Buka Island, communities and individuals across the region to donate essential food items such as kaukau, taro, and rice.
How You Can Help:
1. Donate Food: Essential items needed include kaukau, taro, rice, and other non-perishable food items.
2. Drop-off Points: Donations can be dropped off at the Community Government Headquarters -Disaster and Emergency Office at Kubu. For more details, please contact Acting Coordinator for Disaster & Emergency, Quentin Talingapua on mobile +675 799 25354 or Email: tentalingapua@gmail.com
3. Spread the Word: Share this appeal through social media, community networks, and word-of-mouth to reach as many potential donors as possible.
The Emergency Appeal is endorsed by the Department of Community Government & District Affairs and aims to mobilize resources swiftly through coordinated efforts with government sectors, implementing agencies, and both ABG and National Members of Parliament.
