Santa visits PMGH children’s ward

Head of Credit for Fincorp, Adam Hughes, dressed in a Santa attire, joined his team in giving early Christmas presents to every child in the children's ward at PMGH.

Santa Claus and Fincorp staff bring cheer to the sick

On Friday December 9, staff from Fincorp accompanied by Santa Claus visited Port Moresby General Hospital’s Childrens Ward to give some Christmas cheer.

 The Fincorp staff and Santa Claus visited Ward 1D and Ward 1B, where they gave lollies and toys and cakes and drinks with a lot of smiles and fun for all.

“For these unfortunate children, they will be hospitalised and won’t have a chance to celebrate this festive season. We believe, by visiting these children will bring smiles and joy in their hearts,” said Santa Claus and the Fincorp staff.
