It is a joy that we can be a part of Margaret ‘s vision to improve the lives of the people of Kiriwina. We value our connection to this work which is life-giving and enriching in providing access to healthy birthing, addressing food security and clean water, and supporting the education of students in a very remote part of our world.

The Convenor of the Yarralumla Uniting Church Arts and Crafts Committee, Lynne Thomson.

Our eternal gratitude goes out to the Yarralumla Church congregation for their ongoing support for the Rev Dr Ralph and Margaret Lawton‘s life’s work and legacy.

Kamatokisi!

The Strength of a Mother
A mother’s strength is like no other,
Through every hardship and every bother,
She keeps us strong and keeps us whole,
With love and care that never grows old.

We celebrate all midwives worldwide with a special thank you to our CFK educators and VBAs for their outstanding achievements over the past ten years. Here is a speech and photos from our LAWTON day reporting trip to Kiriwina held during the last two weeks of April.

Now the VBAs have been following the education now women are recognised, especially the VBAs. Women are counted now. A great legacy.

Video 2: CFK VBAs sing a thank you song to the CFK midwife educators Shea Caplice and Jacqui Andrews.

In keeping with CFK’s ethos to empower self-sustaining development, the VBAs are happy to start making their uniforms. We have sent funds to purchase the materials to sew their red skirts and new black Mary tops.

Thank you to our wonderful donors and supporters for allowing this good work to continue 👏

With no flights to Kiriwina available the only way for the Kiriwinan’s to receive essential life saving humanitarian items is by boat. The Bishop has graciously supplied a boat for our trip leaving April 17th. Only 13 sleeps away :0. Fingers and toes crossed that Australia Post delivers in time :).

Thank you to all our sponsors and donors 🙌.

STRONG WOMEN, STRONG BABIES!
