Aid for BLK

Aid for BLK

On page two of your May 11, 1995 issue, you reported that PT
Freeport Indonesia has decided to end its annual aid of Rp 500
million (US$ 224,000) for the BLK vocational training program in
Jayapura.

The BLK program is a worthy program and PT Freeport Indonesia
does not intend to end its support as stated. It is important
that other Irian businesses also provide support for the school.
Freeport, BLK and government officials are actively seeking to
diversify the financial contribution to this effort which will
make the school more sustaining and reflect the needs of all
business in Irian Jaya.
