Anglican Church

The Anglican Church -run school in ATS today received sports equipment and funds totalling A$ 11,000 from GFS, also an Anglican run institution but based in Australia.

The presentation made by Gail Orchard, Australian National Chair of GFS and Val Gribble, GFS World President, coincided with the launch of the school’s sports uniform.

Grateful for the donation, school Principal Bernard Karad said the funds will go towards buying more sports material for the school and part of it towards teacher’s salary.

 Vocal Governor for Oro, Garry Juffa when meeting with the executives of the Anglican Health Services in Oro said the scaling down of services will affect more than 90,000 in the province.

Anglican Health Services cater for more than 50% of the population in the province.

“Scale down will mean that only most urgent matters will be dealt with and deliveries.”

He said people affected have had to spend substantial funds to travel into town to receive services.

“The costs range from K40 to K1000 depending on distance and difficulty of terrain and remoteness.”
