e-NEWS CFK update & Christmas wishes
Mr Toks Bwaina, CFK in-country manager was honoured to be invited to speak at the recent year 10 graduation ceremony at Kiriwina Secondary School on the 10th December 2020 due to CFK’s continued commitment and assistance to KSS.
The chairman of the KSS Board Mr Mark Ernest and Acting Deputy principal Mr Esau Topirim thanked CFK during the graduation ceremony for its support during the tough COVID year with school fee assistance, supply, installation and ongoing maintenance of two water pumps, and the supply of school stationery and dignity kits for the female students. This support continues to make a significant impact on the lives of the students.
CFK donated prizes to the students that came 1st in Maths, Science and Social Science, with each winner receiving a scientific calculator and text books during the ceremony.
Ms Taita, received the CFK prize award for being 1st in Mathematics in Grade 10 during KSS Graduation.

CFK Donated prizes.
Rebecca was one of the 20 KSS student recipients of the CFK school fee scholarship program. Rebecca has also made CFK and donors proud for being accepted into one of the National High Schools in PNG to complete her grades 11 and 12.
CFK is positively impacting the lives of people of Kiriwina. For example, CFK’s school fee assistance has given Rebecca’s parents and herself much financial relief and motivated her to strive hard to be in the first four to secure a place to study in one of PNG’s National High Schools. Rebecca will attend Aiyura National High School in Goroka, Eastern Highlands Province.
CFK contributed to the provision of seed yams and encouraged the gardeners through the Food Security Program, which has been designed to increase the self sufficiency of the island, especially during the difficulties that the pandemic has bought. The food gardens are being well cared for by each gardener, with yams, taro, bananas, tapioka and other crops growing very well. The gardens are nurtured with care and skill, and the yam sticks and weeds are well maintained and controlled. A good harvest is expected in June 2021.
