The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (M.N.R.E.) lit up Mapuifagalele last week, with gifts for the senior citizens living at the Home.
The Chief Executive Officer of M.N.RE, Suluimalo Penaia Amataga, presented the Home with ten air condition units and dozens of light bulbs.
“The use of these electrical appliances will eliminate waste energy completely through using technologies to provide equivalent or better services with less energy and wise use,” he said.
“The idea is to find ways to conserve energy, thus helping the economy. This will also help in decreasing their electricity bill”.
“We did a survey and found they had a $20,000 bill per month and we want to assist them in reducing that cost”.
Talanu’upo Aukuso, of Mapuifagalele, was extremely grateful.
“May the Lord continue to bless the ministry, its General Manager and all the staff for this generous gift that you have given to us,” he said.
