These Papua New Guinean children are special; either
their parents are dead or have deserted them, The National
reports.
But, a loving couple, Marai and Hane Lagaru, and the PNG
Children Foundation have taken all 21 under their wing and care for them 24/7.
On Tuesday, they all gathered around a huge cake and blew
out the four candles, marking the foundation’s four years (Aug 17) in existence,
which would not have been possible without charitable hearts like founding
president Yiannis Nicolaou (of the Lamana fame) and long-time donor Sanjay Shah.
The Lagarus are supported by four housemaids, an
education supervisor and a driver, all operating out of their Boroko location.
They were joined at the celebrations on Tuesday by two
entrants of the 2010 Little Miss Princess fundraising quest and foundation
adviser Nene Sta Cruz, digging into the pizzas and cakes and an assorted supply
