Thank you so much Mary’s mother Carmel for donating these beautiful knitted bonnets to the babies of Kiriwina. They are winging their way to Kiriwina as I type. What a wonderful, caring thing to do. We know the Kiriwinan babies will love them. xxx

Kiriwina Secondary School Grade 12 students commenced their mock exams yesterday. The photo was taken by Mr Arnold Kalu, the teacher in charge of CFK program at KSS, showing four grade 12 students after their exams yesterday holding CFK donated pens. 😍🙌

Thank you to all the Kiriwinan POM community for donating blood and provisions. The patient is looking well and much better than before. The doctor in charge advised that he will be given one more blood transmission bag before he can be taken in for surgery. He should undergo surgery early next week.

Photos of donated bedsheets, pillows, blankets, towels, fruits, juice, biscuits and adult diapers and donations have also helped payment for the bed fee.

“A 25 year old boy named, Ilai Kauyola Tobitam from Kavataria Village, Trobriand Islands, was bitten by shark on Saturday 28  August 2021, while diving for fish in the waters between the mainland Kiriwina and Muwa Island. The shark bit the boy at his left buttock and between his abdomen and pelvic. The boy was medivac to Port Moresby General Hospital on Monday 30 August 2021 due to loss of blood.

The boy was admitted to the Emergency ward upon arrival and was later re-located to ward 2A awaiting for surgery. Currently, the patient is low in blood and cannot be taken in for surgery. 

Yesterday, five people from Trobriand Islands donated blood and if anyone is willing to donate more blood to help the patient to increase his blood to a reasonable level to enable him for admission into surgery.

Any person willing to donate blood can go to Port Moresby General Hospital blood bank section to donate blood. Ilai Kauyola Tobitam is in ward 2A bed 5. Banasi from Silaketa is in the Blood Transmission Division.

Your prayers and thoughts of best wishes for speedy recovery is much appreciated.”

326 Birthing kits and 216 Dignity Kits in production 😁

These photos depict the Cultural Show at Kiriwina Secondary School, part of the Milamala Festive Season Celebrations, taken by the CFK In-Country Manager Toks on his recent trip to Kiriwina. The photos show Kiriwina Secondary School students in traditional attire loading their yam house with yams to celebrate a good yam harvest. The yams stored will be used for consumption by the students at a later date. 

Food security is a big issue on Kiriwina due to climate change, population increase and land shortages.

To promote food security on Kiriwina, CFK in conjunction with Toks, host the yam competition to enable people to work and maintain their gardens for a good harvest.

Thanks so much to the lovely lady Michelle, who sewed and donated these gorgeous girls dresses.
Both Kiriwinan girls are 6 years old and in elementary school.

Clothes for children such as these are in desperate need.

Thank you Shea for all you have done for the Kiriwinan people!!! xxxxx
