A quiet visit a few months ago has blossomed into a wonderful partnership for the Kaugere community in Port Moresby city.
Today, the team at BNBM PNG Limited dropped by to support the Moale Ministry kitchen with a generous donation worth K4,000.
The Moale Ministry is operated by the Living Light Foursquare Gospel Church, providing vital support to the area by feeding children and women from underprivileged homes.
During the presentation, Pastor Dobi Tomuriesa, speaking on behalf of her husband Pastor Rodney Tomuriesa, revealed that the ministry’s Feeding and Nutrition Program serves between 500 and 600 children every week. This initiative runs in coordination with the Kaugere Clinic, a facility under the Living Light Health Services.
Pastor Dobi, alongside Pastor Maria Kiagi Moreva, who founded the ministry back in 1997, expressed their deep appreciation to BNBM for their generosity.
The handover turned into a memorable community gathering. BNBM Digital Marketing Supervisor, Alysha Paisabua, noted that her team was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome from both the ministry and the local residents.
She shared that the company is grateful the community turned out to celebrate, noting that the new appliances will directly help volunteers prepare balanced meals for local mothers and children.
In addition, Paisabua hinted at a bright future for the collaboration, stating that this donation is just the beginning of a long-term partnership that could eventually include renovating the ministry’s kitchen and launching other community activities.
This gesture aligns closely with the hardware and home-center company's core motto, "Building A Better Future," as they continually look for ways to give a helping hand to families and communities in need.
BNBM Advertising Supervisor, Shane N. Jacob, shared that the donation included two (2) 5-liter electric woks, two (2) stock pots, a double gas stove with a hose and regulator, an outdoor table, a large 5.6-liter rice cooker, and a 45-liter hot water urn.
They also gifted essential utensils like soup spoons and colanders, along with a 16-inch stand fan to keep the kitchen volunteers cool while they cook.
