DEAR EDITOR, last weekend, the Premier of Malaita Province, the Hon Peter Ramohia, donated four wheel chairs to the Kilu’ufi Hospital.

The Hon. Premier mentioned that eight wheel chairs had actually been donated to the Malaita Provincial Government and four were still to be distributed to clinics in the southern part of Malaita.

The gift of 8 wheel chairs was made possible by Mr Johnny Sy, the Managing Director of Bulacan Logging Company, currently operating in Guadalcanal Province.

Mr Sy, also the President of the SFA, is well known for his charitable support to good causes in the Solomon Islands, especially aiding the NRH and other health services and charitable organisations, including the Hearts of Hope (HOH) charity in Malaita.

I express my thanks to Mr Sy and to the Malaita Provincial Government for assisting the Kilu’ufi hospital and rural health clinics.

Yours sincerely

FRANK SHORT
