Lighting up the Village Birth Attendant’s Christmas

On our recent trip to Kiriwina we realised that other than the torches we had recently sent over there was no other available lighting source for the VBA’s work. The VBA’s use burning sticks to check the progress of births at night… a seemingly precarious practice. We are sending x 75 headlamps (which are a triumph of German engineering) over to our wonderful CFK VBA’s, thanks to a 75% off sale and the continued generosity of our wonderful sponsors and donors. We will strive to light the way for our Kiriwinan VBA’s, Mother’s and Babies.
Desperate times at the Lousia Health Centre, Kiriwina Island – please help.
Although this Rotary Video is from 2009 the state of the hospital remains desperate.

A constant stream of supplies are being shipped over to Kiriwina for our VBA training week at the end of October. As the network has been down for weeks our fabulous in-country manager is flying over to Kiriwina next weekend to help co-ordinate the arrangements for our visit. It is all getting very exciting… and close, only 23 more sleeps…
We are in need of some extra funds for this trip to the Island. Please Donate Here

Our in-country manager has been delayed in Alotau as the boat he was meant to be traveling on was not ready to leave. He is taking donated sporting gear for the local schools and Birthing Kits for the Losuia Health Centre. He is also meeting with the head VBA’s to inform them of the next training sessions progress, delivering the remaining birthing kits for distribution to all VBA’s on Kiriwina. Hopefully the boat will be ready to leave Alotau tomorrow.
Thank you to everyone who has enabled us to make this happen.
The Caring for Kiriwina Team.
