Our Impact

Read some of the feedback we've had about our impact on the people of PNG.

Hello David, On behalf of the 48 of my Clients who are the recipients of the donated hearing aids from the Wantok Support program in the UK. I would like to thank David and the Wantok support members who have put their hands up to say Yes to help 48 of my hearing aid clients who have been fitted with the hearing aids. With your support, you have put a smile on their faces and made a big difference in their life. Two females are enrolled in a Primary School and doing grade 8, three male students are also doing grade eight in Primary School as well. 1 female who did not make it to secondary school last year is now employed and working in one of the big supermarkets in Goroka town. It's always sad when clients come with hearing difficulties and after the Audio test is done hearing aids are needed and I told them that they need hearing aids. I do not have hearing aids in stock and they go away with sad faces. It has been very sad for me also. But once again on behalf of my hearing aid clients, I would like to thank you all. May our Heavenly Father Bless you all in all this generous help and support you are providing to the developing countries. Greetings to you all from Goroka, EHP, PNG.

We appreciate the kind gesture and genorisity of the PNG Wantok Support organisation at this time of great need for many Solomon Islands. The funds have been used to purchase and distribute emergengy Family Kits to ensure affected familities have immediate hygiene and health needs addressed and also purchase and distribute Liveihoods Kits that include agricultural supplies to provide for income generation and re-establish family gardens. Thank you once again for your genorsity and support.

I have been amazed at how technology has changed over the years, and certainly this new equipment is a classic example, giving affordable, quality connections across our bases. Thanks again to Wantok Support, the people who gave to this project, it is a real blessing. (Michael Wakefield, General Manager, CRMF)

On behalf of Wara Wagi Primary School, parents and stakeholders, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Wantok Support Charity group - it's the first of its kind and we are very pleased and very honoured to have received the cycle jackets, rugby balls and educational books. I would like to thank the charity organisation for being very good to the school.

We are very privileged here at St Mary's Catholic Primary School to be the recipients of reading books, curriculum textbooks and sports jackets from Wantok Support. As observed here, the kind works of a few to aid others has somewhat benefitted hundreds of students and will be the same for a long time to come. It has built interest in learning amongst the students and has become a motivation to the school, its staff and the stakehlders.
