Finally! after 62 years in the making, BUKI BIGA KIRIWINA, A dictionary of the Kiriwina Language of Papua New Guinea, has been published.

With a glorious printed hardcover and gold embossed text, this 1000-page dictionary is a triumph of multiple wills and determination.

This dictionary has been the direct result of the help and encouragement of Rev Dr Ralph’s Papuan and Australian friends. Ralph acknowledged the support of many contributors in the dictionary, and this hardcover version has been produced just in time for us all to celebrate Ralph and Margaret’s contributions to Kiriwina, the place they called home. Thank you to all our sponsors and donors.

Only 2 more nights of sleep until we leave for our beloved Kiriwina to see our wonderful friends after 3.5 years of COVID absence. Getting excited 🙂

The fabulous Rev Dr. Ralph Stanley Lawton. Here he is holding the product of 50 years of work, the proof of the soon-to-be-published Kiriwinan Dictionary.

CFK will collect the knitwear from these lovely Belrose Country Club ladies. ready to take to Kiriwina in 5 sleeps. The lady on the far right is Norma who does most of the knitwear and she turns 101 in July this year! What an amazing effort.

Our SwizKnitters, from St Swithuns Church at Pymble are also very enthusiastic knitters for Kiriwina and Michelle Vale has again sewn some beautiful baby clothes and dresses for the new Mums.

Thank you, you wonderful women!!!

With no flights to Kiriwina available the only way for the Kiriwinan’s to receive essential life saving humanitarian items is by boat. The Bishop has graciously supplied a boat for our trip leaving April 17th. Only 13 sleeps away :0. Fingers and toes crossed that Australia Post delivers in time :).

Thank you to all our sponsors and donors 🙌.

STRONG WOMEN, STRONG BABIES!
