Gifu Primary School in Guadalcanal has recently benefited from a generous donation of stationery provided by the Japanese Solomon Islands Associations (JSIA) to Barana Community.
The handover took place on the morning of Monday, August 4, 2025 in which Barana Community Chief, Willie Besi presented the items to Gifu Primary School chairman Samson Hohosi and the school staff.
Besi expressed his gratitude to the JSIA, particularly to Director General and Captain Kankoh Sakitsu for the timely donation which he believes will significantly enhance the academic resources available to students.
He highlighted that JSIA contributed 250 books and pens which will greatly support the students’ learning experience.
“This timely donation has hit the target of the school,” Besi remarked.
Chairman Hohosi also acknowledges Besi’s efforts to facilitate the transfer of the donation from the JSIA to the Barana Community for the benefit of Gifu Primary School.
He emphasized the importance of such contributions, especially for the students.
“This donation will highly enhance the students’ learning since stationery is one of the key challenges here in the school,” he said.
Hohosi praised the ongoing relationship between JSIA and the Barana Community, noting its positive impact on the school’s progress and the educational opportunities available to students.
Barana Community is recognized for its war museum, which plays a vital role in fostering relationships and attracting visitors.
This connection not only benefits the school but also enhances the community’s profile as a site of historical significance.
