“I always dreamt about this but never thought it would happen."

October 27 2008, Mt Hagen. Betty James lives in Ialibu, in the Southern Highlands. When told of her win, she said
“I always dreamt about this but never thought it would happen. I just thought I would just give the competition a go, but never expected to win.”
 

Betty reminded the people of PNG that there is one more kit home to be given away, saying

“Keep texting, you have just a few days left, but you could be a winner too!”

 

Digicel will give away the 3rd kit home on November 2, with the entry deadline on October 31

 

Betty James is 28 years old, and has a four year old son named Roderick. The young family currently stays at a house shared with her uncle and his family.

 

“We will all have more room and more comfort now”, added Betty, who studies Tourism and Hospitality at Ialibu Vocational School.

 

“Now I will be able to do my own catering from here, and I am already thinking about starting up my own business.”

 

Digicel PNG CEO John Mangos said

“Digicel hopes that Betty and family will enjoy life in their new home. Digicel is proud to see this promotion have a positive impact on people’s lives. Our first home winner will use the new building to provide shelter and care for abandoned children in Port Moresby, and now our second winner can look forward to setting up her own business, proof that once given the opportunity, people in PNG will utilize their entrepreneurial drive and initiative, which ultimately is a benefit to everybody.”

 

Betty concluded

“I want to thank Digicel for helping us achieve a dream. I haven’t been able to sleep with excitement since hearing the news!”

 

This is the second kit home Digicel has given away as part of its heavily-subscribed giveaway. The first winner, Lina Kenosi, will not only use her new kithaus for her own family, but will provide a shelter for local children who have been abandoned or neglected, work that Lina has been doing in her community for a number of years now.

 

Digicel will give away one more kit home, draw scheduled for November 2. To enter, text the word HOME to 7777. Entries must be submitted by October 31.
