SOUTH PAPUA – Papua Agro Lestari (PAL), on behalf of Tunas Sawa Erma (TSE) Group, presented Inggyash Ghuzi Cooperative with a new office building. A ribbon-cutting procession performed by PAL leaders, co-op committee members, local community representatives, and border security personnel marked the highlight of the handover ceremony.
This event heralds the beginning of a more structured and sustainable public-private collaboration.
In Phagabo Subvillage Friday (8/22), members of the cooperative and village community watched in joy as TSE Group executive Park Jibae passed the office key to Inggyash Ghuzi chairman Richard Nosai Koula.
“This handover [ceremony] demonstrates our commitment as PAL, and as TSE Group,” explained Daniel Sim Ayomi, TSE Group’s Public Relations General Manager. “We hope this office becomes a hub for collaboration and enables economic self-sufficiency. We trust it will be managed effectively to achieve our shared goal of mutual prosperity.”
Kolua praised the company, saying its donation has provided community members with real support to build a more prosperous future. To the Phagabos, it’s also a symbol of trust in their ability to manage their own resources and goods.
“On behalf of our members, I extend our sincerest thanks to PAL and TSE Group. Their dedication to promoting economic independence in local communities isn’t just talk, they have proven it with tangible action. This gives us a foundation to build a more prosperous future and also reflects a belief in our ability to manage the fruits of our own labor. We will honor this assistance and leverage it to its fullest potential for our collective progress.”
The new office launch marks the culmination of PAL’s long-term support, aimed at breaking the cycle of dependency and fostering a self-sustaining economic ecosystem where community members take the lead in managing local resources. (PR)
