Member of Parliament for Lau Mbaelelea Constituency, Malaita Province, Ben Maenu’u has set an example by helping an elderly person.

He bought a new wheelchair and donated it to DMI Sister Julian Olokwao, who resides at Visale Catholic Station. 

The Secretary of the Constituency Development Committee, Eddie Kairi, said Maenu’u responded to Olokwao’s request for a wheelchair after just two hours.

He said Maenu’u has known Sister Olokwao for a long time and is willing to help those who serve the church. 

“I was very surprised that when I told him about the request for Sister Olokwao at 10 am, after just two hours, he called me to take the wheelchair and deliver it to Sister Olokwao at Visale Catholic Station,” Kairi said.

“Sr Julian Olokwao and Hon. Maenu’u have known each other for a long time. Donating the wheelchair is a privilege for Maenu’u to give to someone he knows very well,” he added. 

The donation of the wheelchair coincided with Olokwao’s 75th birthday, which was on October 8. 

In response to the donation, Olokwao thanked Maenu’u for the gift and said that he is a leader who has a heart and cares for the elderly. 

She also sent an invitation to Maenu’u to visit her at Visale at any time and to enjoy swimming in Visale Bay. 

“I know that you don’t have an educational background, but your heart and mind are beautiful for helping the elderly.

“God is always good and stays with you all, to have a good heart, and I am very happy. Thank you,” she said.
