News update 22/8/8: Baby Tomakam had an X-ray yesterday and his doctor will determine whether to undergo an operation or not. More updates will be informed as soon as I receive updates from Alotau.

One month old Baby boy Tomakam was born with a growth around his right eye. He was delivered by the Caring for Kiriwina Kavataria village VBA’s.

The parents are desperately in need of financial assistance to take the baby to Alotau Provincial Hospital for further review and tests before an operation is carried out.

The boy’s family needs further financial assistance for medical costs, transport costs and other associated costs.

The Digicel network has been down again on Kiriwina for the past few weeks. Once available we were notified that the female and male water pumps both needed parts and repairs. Parts purchased and repairs will soon be made by our wonderful plumber Mr Koega :).

Thank you again to all our sponsors and donors. Without you none of this could happen.

Latest News from the Island is that the airport is closed as a direct consequence of the recent Election violence. Report from Toks:

“At the moment the flights to Kiriwina are suspended. The terminal building was partly damaged and the airport run way was closed with logs and tree branches. Negotiations are underway to open the airport and resume flights. ”
