The Papua New Guinea Solomon Islands Business Council (PNGSIBC) donated SBD 30,000 to both the National Referral Hospital Cancer Unit and the Honiara Golf Club.

The donation was made during the PNGSIBC meet and greet cocktail event, which took place at the Honiara Golf Club last Friday.

John Milkare, PNGSIBC Vice President, presented a cheque of SBD 10,000 to the Honiara Golf Club and SBD 20,000 to the National Referral Hospital Cancer Unit.

These funds were generated from the inaugural WANSOL Prime Ministers Charity Golf Challenge held during the golf tournament on August 22nd.

“From the funds we collected from the entire Prime Minister’s Cup, we are donating $10,000 to the owner of the golf club, as well as to assist the force and the repairers of the golf club.

“The PNGSIBC is pleased to announce a donation of 20,000 Solomon Dollars to the National Referral Hospital’s cancer unit. This amount, 20,000 Solomon Dollars, is intended to assist in the various programs at the hospital,” said Milkare while presenting the cheques.

The WANSOL Prime Ministers Charity Golf Challenge, an initiative spearheaded by Prime Minister Marape, is scheduled to occur biennially, alternating between Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

This initiative underscores the role of sports as means to enhance regional collaboration and foster community welfare.

The event unites leaders, businesses, and stakeholders from both nations to generate funds for essential community development projects while reinforcing bilateral relationships.
