Thanks to Postman Andy, another 150 birthing kits, donated prescription glasses and sunglasses have started their long journey to Kiriwina. Unfortunately, the lifesaving airstrip created by the ANZACs in WW2 has fallen into disrepair, only small charter planes can land and there is no other transport to this remote Island other than a two-day boat ride :0. Could the authorities please look into repairing this essential airstrip as an urgent priority!!!
