Thank you to the team at Beyond Q: Jenni Lawton and Simon Maddox, Linda Douglas at Chefs Kitchen and Mary Jonmundsson for making the Cooking Fun-raiser such as success. The money raised from ticket sales has gone directly into the CFK bank account and purchased Birthing Kit contents for our now active Canberra Beyond Q birthing kit assembly group to be initiated. We have many VBA’s on Kiriwina and the outer Islands to supply and this has necessitated an expansion of our assembly teams, we are now based in Sydney and Canberra. Anyone interested in joining the Canberra working group please contact Jenni on 0421 526 344. Thank you also to all the supporters that came to the event and purchased cooking equipment from Chef’s Kitchen. 20% of the total purchase price will be sent to our Charity and Chefs Kitchen will supply some of their high quality kitchen equipment for us to raffle off in the near future. Keep an eye out for more updates.

Yeah! Shea to the rescue! See new embedded video of our joyous final celebrations before coming back to Australia. This video shows the Kiriwian people celebrating our time with them and shows the love and joy experienced by all.

A beautiful day for our monthly brain storming session. Action plans in train. Sorry everyone, same shirt different meeting… at least the other girls have a more expansive wardrobe to prove my different day assertions.

The airport is still closed on Kiriwina which understandably creates many challenges on many levels. Our In-country manager will be in Brisbane in the next week and we have another lot of 50 birthing kits winging their way up to greet him when he arrives. Thank you to everyone involved for continuing to manage to try and work around this major obstacle.

It feels like an early Xmas present -Thanks to the endeavors of some wonderful P&O Passengers three bags of essential Birthing Kits have arrived on Kiriwina, Yeah!!!. Handed over to our magnificent VBA head Ruth. The Kiriwinan women had woven some traditional baskets as a gift for these interpid deliverers. Thank you everyone involved! As the airstrip on Kiriwina is still not openwe have organised for one of the CFK in-country team members to boat from Alotau with the rest of the 600 + kits that have been stranded in POM by the end of this month. Thank you to our donors and supporters for making this possible.
