" ITA BAGIBAGI - Our Responsibility "
HIV Aids continues to be a growing issue in Papua New Guinea and
Nawae Construction joins in the fight against HIV Aids by recently
becoming an approved policy holder with Business Against HIV Aids
(BAHA).
In 'Tawala', which is the traditional language spoken on the mainland and
inner islands of Milne Bay Province, 'Ita Bagibagi' translates into the
central philosophy of Nawae Constructions HIV Aids workplace policy and
program which is - 'Our Responsibility". The necklace that appears in the
logo is the 'bagi' which is the traditional shell money of Milne Bay Province
and which is instantly recognizable in every province of PNG as belonging
to this region.
The committee that spearheads this program is Nawae Constructions HIV
Aids Wok Komiti. 'Wok Komiti' is a tok-pisin translation of Work Committee
and the committee is made up of volunteer employees from a broad
cross-section of the company, whose aim is to raise awareness,
undertake training and ensure the safety of Nawae Construction
employees, their families and the communities which the company works
in.
The policy was only officially launched in August 2008 and the company is
now actively carrying out awareness, support programs, both within the
company and also the surrounding communities. The 'Ita Bagibagi'
program continues to gain momentum.....
