Anglicare PNG has 50 thousand reasons to smile

The funding will go towards the set-up of Anglicare PNG’s first Food Bank and Storage facility. Through the food bank and storage facilities, Anglicare can be able to provide nutritious meal for their beneficiaries.

This initiative is in line with the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations on the provision of food baskets at the start of antiretroviral treatment (ART) to combat the excessive hunger that people with HIV, especially those initiating treatment, can experience.

Basic Sewing Course gains interest

The basic sewing course is the second batch which Mother Grace is now delivering training for.  As leader of the Mothers Union in the Anglican Diocese of Port Moresby, Mother Grace has taken it upon herself to conduct life skills training for mothers, youth and all others who want to learn the skills of sewing.

Mother Grace is a certified trainer with the Ginigoada Foundation and Anglicare in Port Moresby.

On her first course which was held specifically for members of the Mothers Union early this year, many turned up including a young man who was taught how to sew.
