On a path to picking out young talents at an early age and preparing them onto the right path to achieve the bigger dreams, BSP Financial Group Limited presented K40,000 to Rabaul Rugby Football League School Rugby League Competition in East New Britain Province.
The K40,000 support will go towards the Rabaul Select Side, U/14 boys, U/16 boys, and U/18 boys and girls teams. The funds will cover four sets of jerseys worth K20,000, equipment at K10,00, and an added K10,000 to upgrade the sports field.
BSP Rabaul Branch Manager Kalat Tiriman announced this saying, “participation in sports has a significant positive impact on our young people. Sports play an important role in helping children and youths, especially students to engage in healthy activities in a safe and supported environment.
“At BSP, we believe in supporting communities through health, sports, and education, and this support is a significant investment, supporting our Rabaul Community in developing not just the game of rugby league but in developing our youngsters in the social and community level,” said Tiriman.
