Basic drugs especially pain killers have been donated to Janson Toposona (pictured) over the years. A former Health Extension Officer and retired public servant with the Health Department. Janson operates a dispensary clinic and helps a lot of sick people with his experience and expertise. He is an expert in acupuncture and CFK has provided him with hundreds of acupuncture needles. He uses them to assist many people to recover from pain and disease.

Yesterday we remembered those ANZACs who served in partnership with the Kirwinan people in WW2.
Thank you Diggers for building the Losuia airport strip, the most vital piece of infrastructure on Kiriwina, still in use today. Damage to this amazing piece of critical infrastructure over the past few years makes it relatively impossible to reach the Island unless you are prepared risk your life on a two day, potentially death defying sea journey. Please look after this amazing legacy!!! Photos courtesy of the Australian War Memorial @DFAT, #DFAT @FriendshipGrants,#LestWeForget #AnzacDay
We are feeling extremely happy that the systems that we have in place that deal with the difficult logistics involved in delivering these important items to the Village Birth attendants and Losuia Health Centre on Kiriwina Island are working :).
The people of Kiriwina are really grateful, thankful and appreciate CFK for the services provided to them. Kirwina people also convey their inner most feelings of gratitude and appreciation to the donors all over the world. Thank you very much.

These uniforms have been made from the most sturdy of materials and embroidered to allow multiple washes with bars of soap against rocks.
The Kiriwina VBA’s provide a high standard of pregnancy care and conduct successful baby deliveries. Most baby deliveries, about 80% are conducted in the respective villages and 20% of deliveries, mostly critical and complicated deliveries are conducted at the Losuia Health Centre or referrals to Alotau General Hospital. However, the deliveries conducted at the health centre were mostly attended by the VBA’s under the supervision of the health centre mid-wives. The mortality ratio per month is 1:50. Out of 50 deliveries per month, 1 baby dies due to complications and non- existence of life saving medical equipment at the Health Centre. We send over CFK Birth Record books and the CFK VBA’s keep records of their work.
The pregnancy rate on Kiriwina is very high. It has almost doubled from the prior years. There is no method of pregnancy control provided by the local health centre. A great assistance is required in this area to control pregnancy and we appeal to donors for assistance in providing birth control measures.
The Kiriwina VBA’s do not receive any form of allowance or salary. They provide their time and service to the community on a voluntary basis with a generous heart to save lives and promote a high standard of pregnancy care and baby delivery. CFK provides the Kiriwina VBA’s with unforms and other necessary items to encourage them to provide generous service out of a kind and loving heart and personality.
