Member of Parliament for Temotu Nende, Stephen Kumi has fulfilled his commitment to support the John Coleridge Patteson University (JCPU) Project with a donation of $100,000 to the Anglican Church of Melanesia (ACOM).
A statement last Wednesday said he made a pledge during a recent corporate dinner with the cheque officially handed over on Wednesday, 29 April.
At the handover, Kumi said the contribution was made on behalf of the people of Temotu Nende, emphasising that the support is for a worthy national cause.
“This is for a good cause and I will continue to support initiatives that contribute to the development of our people,” he said.
Meanwhile, Dr. Abraham Hauriasi, ACOM’s General Secretary, expressed gratitude for the timely support, saying it will significantly assist the progress of the project.
“Thank you, Hon. Kumi. Such support is truly encouraging and strengthens our efforts towards achieving our goal,” Dr. Hauriasi said.
He noted that the gesture by a national leader is both an inspiration and motivation for the Church and its partners as they work towards the establishment of the university.
