Puncakjaya's donation

JAKARTA (JP): PT Puncakjaya Power, which owns and operates a
194 megawatt electric system supporting PT Freeport Indonesia's
mining operation in Irian Jaya, has donated US$15,000 to
Indokids, a nonprofit organization that gives Indonesian children
an opportunity to a U.S. education.

"By contributing to the education of Irianese children, we are
also contributing to the country's future economic growth and
well-being," company project administrator Debbie Erna said in a
statement over the weekend.

Indokids was established in 1987 by Mary Jane Lowman, to
provide placement and financial assistance to bright, young
Indonesians in U.S. high schools and colleges.

In the past nine years, 65 Indonesian children have
participated in the program. (bnt)
