TLDR

  • Bicycle riders from Sagalau, Matupi, and Siar villages in Madang, Papua New Guinea, are seeking financial support.
  • The riders, known as Paddle Power from Siar Village, participated in a recent Cleanthon program.
  • They are calling for assistance after their involvement in the community-wide cleaning initiative.

A group of dedicated cyclists from Madang District in Papua New Guinea, representing Sagalau, Matupi, and Siar villages, are reaching out for much-needed financial assistance following their active participation in a recent Cleanthon event. The initiative, held on Saturday, the 25th of this month, saw these riders, collectively known as Paddle Power from Siar Village, join forces with other community members, local businesses, and stakeholders to clean up sections of Madang town.

This Cleanthon is part of a broader provincial effort aimed at enhancing the cleanliness and appeal of Madang. The Paddle Power team's involvement highlights their commitment not only to promoting cycling but also to contributing positively to their local environment and community well-being. Their participation underscores a growing sense of civic responsibility among various community groups in the region.

However, the riders' enthusiastic engagement in the Cleanthon has now led them to seek financial support. The exact nature of the support required is not detailed, but it is likely related to covering costs associated with their participation, maintaining their bicycles, or potentially funding future community or sporting endeavors. Their call for assistance emphasizes the ongoing need for resources to sustain community-driven initiatives and support the efforts of local groups like Paddle Power in Madang.
