UPNG courts get make over

Basketball and Volleyball enthusiasts and students at the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) campus will enjoy the game with the timely makeover of the basketball courts courtesy of BSP First.The upgrade of the UPNG Basketball and Volleyball courts was done by staff of BSP First Port Moresby branch as part of their 2015 Community Project Initiative.

The team spent their weekends over a period of 2 week to assist a local contractor to refurbish the courts. The Court got a new coat splash of green paint, new basketball hoops installed and benches installed around the playing area.

UPNG Representative Professor Mange Matui said that BSP's contribution to sporting facilities was timely as the Pacific Games were coming and the refurbished facilities will be beneficial to the UPNG Community.

"I want to thank the BSP First team and BSP as a whole for this project. UPNG management and students appreciate your efforts," Professor Matui said.

"I'm sure it will serve our students, staff and families with sporting activities," he added.

"All our community projects involve our staff, so from day of inception of the idea to helping out in constructing, cleaning, painting and handing over. Our staffs are an integral part of our community projects," Mr Wai said.
