GOOD NIGHT HELA, the students and parents. Hela Undialu Education Foundation (HUEF) have looked into almost 99% of students throughout Papua New Guinea without favoritism or nepotism. As we all know, Hon. Philip Undialu (Undialu Philip) is a single governor for entire Hela people regardless of political affiliations, regional groupings, or category or rather classification of institutions. All institutions from famous University of PNG down to unknown Worklink PNG Ltd at Department of Works, in Boroko were looked into. We paid fees for students in Bible colleges as well.
However, in order to make HUEF efficiently deliver its purpose, and to avoid fluctuation of unnecessary numbers in each institution, we set a very important condition, and we repeatedly posted and text, and that was,
"students in those nominated institutions (89 of them) must be enrolled with their own upfront payment and must be in the school by April 2018".
Thus, when the coordinators visited, the students who were enrolled and in the class/lecture rooms were officially confirmed on our list for Sponsorship. In there, we interrogated students in those schools and when all agreed that name(s) of students who were not in their school, were deleted forthwith. Period! Some students, applied for second semester without paying upfront fees, but we didn't allocate funds for these groups of students, because we were not sure whether they will actually attend studies in 2nd semester/intake or not, and that's not questionable!
So, we didn't forget any single school, from which student(s) applied. We have a single student faraway in Raihu (Aitape) CHW, we have a single student in Aiyura Aircraft Maintenance (Kainantu) , we have a student in Minerva Training Institute (POM) , we have students in Highlands Youth Training & Rehabilitation Centre (Jiwaka) , we have students in Innovative Training Centre in Simbu, we have students in St. Gerad CHW(Central), etcetera. Mind you, those are not well-known schools and some of you may get to know them for the first time from here, lol. We have turned every stone, and looked for our Hela students rather than students looking for us to sponsor them. In our coordination work, we had Hela our heart.
Therefore, if we missed some students, may it/they be as a result of one of the following the reasons:
- they may not have applied for Sponsorship;
- they may have applied, but was not present in the school when coordinators visited, and School mates confirmed about him/her;
- they may have applied for second semester/intake, which we didn't allocate funds for them;
- the students are found to be on corporate sponsor. The students under corporate sponsors were advised that their fees are fully met by their sponsors. However, such CS students in PNGUoT were recognized for their help in supporting day students.
- by human error, which is natural can be understood.
Hela brothers and sisters should understand that 2018 HUEF is just a start and it will continue next year and beyond. As such, starting is difficult, but only few selective appointed coordinators tried our very best to diligently deliver our Governor's policy for the first time, you know! Please, I beg you to have some good feeling towards our work. If we didn't do the job properly this year, perhaps other people can be replaced to carry out the task to deliver this ongoing and very vital policy. However, regardless of who is/are coordinating HUEF, or who is the governor for Hela, the very obvious bottom line is, our students from Hela must be educated through this Sponsorship, provided our province is crippled with numerous social problems impeding our poor parents from meeting high fees.
Finally, I'd like to ask any individual or group of students who may missed out due to the above four (4) reasons, to please let us know in writing through this email Inquiries no later than [30th June 2018] .
And further, I beg you to stop grumbling on FACEBOOK because, any negative arguments on Facebook can be misinterpreted as political propaganda. I guess, I made myself very clear. Good night.

Thank you Mr. Tarali Hibuya for your informative post regarding Hela Undialu School Fee Subsidy Scheme. I firstly thank our Honourable Governor Philip Undialu for initiating this very important program simply to promote Human Resources Development for Hela as a new province. Governor Undialu is charting into the right track for Hela. Also being the first governor elect to invest in Hela HR and I believed with credible Coordinators in Mr. Hibuya and Team Undialu great things are yet to transpire. This is indeed a wonderful job especially in facilitating the subsidy payments to Hela Students in every tertiary institutions in PNG. Once again, I personally appreciate your team for your great commitment and effort in successfully delivering & rolling out the subsidy payments despite many challenges like natural disasters, human disasters etc. So far, your team has demonstrated good leadership and done very well to firstly establish baseline database for all Hela students pursuing studies in tertiary institutions throughout PNG. The baseline data base would assist the coordinators in facilitating payment with ease. I hope the leadership of your coordinators will set a good precedent and thus continue to empower and change mindsets of Hela elites, Hela People and Province as whole. I am already jeolous of students who are now fortunate enough to benefit from Undialu's School Fee Subsidy Scheme so am planning to go back to studies. So what? In our days & time at Universities and colleges, no SHP or Hela governor or MP has come up with such incentives to assist us financially. We struggled financially to complete our studies and come to where we are now. Please Keep up with the good job and continue to think BIG because your team will get bigger and better as you continue to faithfully and fairly perform your job. As long as Governor Undialu's program continues over years, Hela is destined for greater blessings! May God bless Hela through Leadership of Team Undialu and Coordinators led by Mr. Tarali Hibuya.
