Man of Honor Awards

Kids receive wheelchairs following rural outreach program

The two youngsters, 13-year-old Steven Aika and 5-year-old Frenjenny Yoga, are from Yandera Village in Bundi.

Cerebral palsy is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood caused by abnormal development or damage to the parts of the brain that control movement, balance and posture.

The boys have never been in a wheelchair, only been carried around to places by family members.

The wheelchairs came as a surprise for their families.

This is to form a brotherhood of men who can reach out to each other, helping each other through difficult times to help Digicel Foundation with its aim of overcoming violence in PNG.
