East New Britain Governor Michael Marum has showed continued support towards one of the biggest community-based organizations in the North Baining area ā the Sogar Cooperative Society of Gazelle District through his Community Enrichment Program.
The cooperative, with more than 1,000 members, received K50,000 to strengthen its existing Cooperative group.
The funding will enable the purchase of vital equipment including a new outboard motor for the Messakanapuka fishing groups, as well as support operational activities in Karo Ward and provide assistance to Catholic churches, nearby schools, and surrounding wards within the Vunamarita area of North Baining.
This occurred after a recent visit to Vunamarita Village in the Lassul Baining Local Level Government (LLG) area, accompanied by Danley Pauapena, Provincial Deputy Administrator for District & LLG Affairs, Thomas Monep - Deputy District Administrator - Kokopo District Administration, Misiel Waliria, the newly elected Inland Baining President, and members of the media.
He also visited Messakanapuka Island ā a potential tourism attraction, near Karo Ward and also the popular Clean Wara recreation area, which continues to attract many local visitors and families.
In support of local tourism and community recreation, the Clean Wara Area Program also received K50,000 in funding from the Office of Governor Michael Marum.
The funding was presented to Mr. Wolcott, the principal owner of the Clean Wara area, to upgrade recreational facilities.
