The airline�s Marketing Manager, Ms Nori Maniana said it�s also part of ANG�s community service obligation to be engaged with communities, adding that the three schools � Holy Rosary Catholic Primary School, St Peters Primary School and Maino Heduru Vocational School – were chosen due to their proximity to the airline�s area of operation.

Ms Maniana added that whilst education is important, children�s participation in some form of recreational activity is also good for their physical and mental well-being and that the fun run was one such activity they can participate in.
