Last week, we had an inspiring meeting with our CFK directors, some of our most dedicated supporters, and our in-country manager. Together, we reflected on our successes in 2024 and brainstormed exciting plans for 2025. A heartfelt thank you to all our supporters for helping us turn our vision into reality. Your contributions have allowed our charity to grow and thrive, and we can’t wait to see what we can achieve together in the coming year!

Today marks the tenth anniversary of our beloved founder, Margaret Lawton’s passing. We feel her absence every day. Margaret’s spirit continues to guide all decisions at CFK, alongside the spirit of her husband, the Reverend Doctor Ralph Lawton. We are deeply grateful for the time we shared with them, and we know that their presence made the world a better place.

We are pleased to announce that thirty sturdy lanterns are en route to support the important work of the CFK Village birth attendants on the remote island of Kiriwina in Papua New Guinea. These lanterns will provide essential lighting and also symbolise hope and encouragement for the dedicated volunteers who assist mothers during childbirth in this vibrant community.

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve shipped 100 baby knits to Kiriwina! A huge thank you to Sandy and John Reid for facilitating this effort and to the talented knitters and sewers from Belrose Country Club and Willandra Village. These cherished items are in high demand and will greatly benefit the community. Together, we’re making a positive impact, one stitch at a time.

We also have news that the next shipment of medicines has arrived in Port Moresby, ready for its challenging journey to Kiriwina. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our sponsors and donors who have supported us in keeping Kiriwina’s mothers and babies safe. We couldn’t have achieved this without your help.
