Field trips play a pivotal role in BbP's educational approach, allowing children to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings. 

OOH Foundation Chairlady Katherine Johnston thanked Ela Motors for their continued support for the last 23 years towards the OOH program.

“The foundation in partnership with Port Moresby General Hospital and Kumul Petroleum Holdings Ltd will continue to provide the open-heart program,” Johnston said. 

The donation is part of Ela Motors’ continuous support to the hospital since the pandemic began in 2020.

Ela Motors National Marketing Manager, Benjamin Niligur, thanked the Friends of POMGen and their effort to support POMGEN.

“On behalf of Ela Motors, we extend our appreciation to Friends of POMGEN and what they do for our National Hospital and as part of our annual ‘Corporate Social Responsibility Program’ we are happy to donate PPE supplies ranging from face shields, gloves, hand sanitizers, masks and gowns,” Mr Niligur said. 

The vehicle was at a private residence in Gerehu in the National Capital District.

It is black in colour with the registration BFM 646.

Police say the vehicle was stolen on 8th February 2019 at the Ela Motors Waigani showroom and hidden at a private residence at Gerehu Stage One (1), Cahuna street until it was recovered by the PPTF.

It was towed to Gordon’s Police station for investigations and returned to Ela Motors.

Suspects involved in the theft are known and the investigating team is working around the clock to locate and arrest them.

There will be two mini buses on offer, one for the Port Moresby event on September 22 and the other for Lae on October 6.

“Ela Motors is very proud to be involved in the Prime Minister’s Golf event to raise funds for Team PNG, Toyota globally is also involved with the Olympics and we’re proud to support the Olympic Movement,” said National Sales Manager for Ela Motors, Chris Von Oppeln.

Ela Motors CEO, Takeshi  Abe when officially opening the branch said Ela Motors had a long standing relationship with Enga.

However, he said the decision to open a spare parts operation in Enga was a business decision that had taken two years to consider.

“The future would be decided by business,” he said.

Meanwhile, Enga Governor Sir Peter Ipatas said although it was a small ccasion, it marked a watershed moment in the history of business in the province.

The cheque presentation was received by CEO of the Foundation, Beatrice Mahuru today at the Datec Learning Centre, Port Moresby.

General Manager- Southern Region for Ela Motors, Ashley Huston said Ela Motors were extremely proud to be part of the Men of Honour campaign.

A campaign that aims to foster, respect, encourage healthy relationships, and create positive opportunities for people.

“What is desperately needed is role models that men, women and children can look up to and strive to be like. The Men of Honour helps identify these role models.

The funding will go towards athletes’ preparations as they work towards qualifying for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.  

PNG is hoping to send athletes overseas for qualifying events in the coming months including powerlifter Pope Gayave and short put specialist Regina Edward.

Gayave will be attending a Grand Prix event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia next month while Edward will be attending an Asia Oceania event in Dubai to qualify for the Rio Olympics.

PNGPC President Peter Curtain thanked Ela Motors for its continued support over the last 20 years.
