ENB Governor Thanks Community at Guria Gala Ball
East New Britain Governor Hon. Michael Marum has commended the East New Britain community in Queensland for their unity and generosity at the Guria Gala Ball in Brisbane, held as part of Papua New Guinea’s 50th Independence Anniversary celebrations.
Good turnout not ENB only but people from other provinces as well
Governor Marum thanked President Elsie Lee and her executive team for their leadership and dedication in organising the event, and also acknowledged the attendance of Hon. Jelta Wong, Member for Gazelle.
He said the funds raised would support education and health initiatives in rural areas of the province, helping fill gaps where government services cannot always reach.
“When you give tonight, you are investing directly in the next generation of Papua New Guineans,” he said.
The Governor also extended his appreciation to the people of Australia who continue to support Papua New Guinea through organisations such as Rotary and Lions clubs saying their partnership makes a real difference in the lives of ordinary families back home.
“On behalf of the people of East New Britain, thank you for your generosity and commitment.
You remind us that, no matter the distance, our people remain united in purpose and vision,” Governor Marum said.
