A concert fundraiser for PNG’s legendary artist, George Telek, is set to be hosted at the Lamana Gold Club on May 25th.
In April 2018, Telek was diagnosed with terminal cancer on his mouth and needed immediate medical attention. Through the help of Lamana Gold Club and PNGFM LTD through its radio stations NAUFM, YUMIFM & LEGENDFM, a fundraiser was held and funds were raised towards this.
“The operation was successful and we are thankful,” said PNGFM.
“However, he needs additional funds to go back for reconstructive mouth surgery by June. We need to raise K80,000 for this.”
Therefore a fundraiser featuring the Painim Wok Band will be hosted in two weeks’ time.
“It’s been a decade since they all performed together and it’s huge that they’re coming together to help George. Another PNG artist Justin Wellington, has lent his support to this cause and will be opening the concert.”
