Buk bilong Pikinini (BbP) works with its partners to establish Library Learning Centres across the country which offers a free Early Childhood Education to five years old children. The program includes literacy, numeracy, digital learning, health awareness and cultural learning.
In addition to this, BbP also offers teacher training in its programs, library services and special needs teaching.
To help BbP continue with its programs, the Port Moresby Rotary Club donated K20,000 yesterday.
The Port Moresby Rotary Club President, Robert Aisi said “Readers are leaders” and reiterated the importance of Early Childhood Education to improve education outcomes for PNG school children as he presented the cheque of K20, 000 to BbP.
The donated funds will be used to support Port Moresby Schools with BbP’s popular School Library Kits.
Leanne Resson, BbP’s Executive Officer said: “We are grateful to be working with like-minded organisations such as the Rotary Club of Port Moresby to provide students with high quality books for their education. Our books are a great compliment to the desks and chairs distributed by Rotary and will be a lovely gift to any classroom.”
