| August 2020 e-NEWS School Fee Scholarship for Kiriwina  Kiriwina Secondary School Boarders in the girls boarding rooms.  Caring for Kiriwina has been helping the women and children on Kiriwina for many years. Even during the difficult conditions of Covid-19 pandemic, our in-country partners have continued to provide our support to the island. We continue to send birthing and dignity kits, and have recently sent safety posters, masks and sanitiser to the VBAs and the Losuia Health Centre to assist the health workers at this time. Beautiful hand knitted baby vests, and equipment for the Junior School have also made their way to the island recently as well as equipment and parts to repair the water pumps we maintain. As our in-country training is not viable at this stage, we have developed a new initiative to provide scholarships for high school students on Kiriwina. While schooling is free for all students in PNG, there is a cost for boarding at school on Kiriwina. There is only one high school on the island, and many students live in remote villages or outlying islands and so cannot attend daily from home. Kiriwina Secondary School provides a boarding facility for these kids to live at the school during term, and the cost for boarding must be paid by their families. Your donation of $125 can provide a year’s boarding for a student in need to attend high school and continue their studies. You will be supplied with a photo and profile of the student who receives the scholarship, and can communicate with them via CFK. You can be assured that your full donation will be targeted to a particular student, who has been selected on the advice of both the Principal and Deputy Principals, to allow them to remain at school. We appreciate the wonderful generosity of our supporters. As Australian Government funding has been put on hold during the pandemic, we rely solely on our donors to continue our work on Kiriwina. Thankyou! $125 scholarship donation Below our CFK School Fee recipients so far… Congratulations!     Regular Subscription Payment Donations Single Donation |
At last, the internet is up and we can meet our 10th CFK School Fee Scholarship recipient Shekinah, an underprivileged year 9 student at Kiriwina Secondary School. She is proudly supported by the Baxter Family.
Thank you to all the sponsors and donors that have made this Scholarship program possible. We have added $25 dollars to the fee as the exchange rate keeps changing.
There are still many desperate students that need our assistance, please donate

The brilliant Shea Caplice and Betty dancing to Pharrell Williams “Happy” to start the training day 25th April 2017 at 7.16am :). We will all be very HAPPY to get back there asap. In the meantime KEEP SAFE KIRIWINA.
And to that end we are thrilled to announce our next x 5 CFK School Fee Scholarship recipients in desperate need of fee assistance. We do not have an image of the fifth student as the internet is not working on the Island again. It will come through as soon as it can.
Thank you again to all our Sponsors and Donors for making this assistance a reality.
I write on behalf of the 5 disadvantaged students and their parents to sincerely thank you and the fellow friends in Australia who heartedly sponsored our students in this category. Please pass our gratitude and appreciation to ALL who have took this humanly step forward to make a difference in the lives of these children now and the future.

Thank you to our In-country manager Toks Bwaina and NauFM news reporter Tasminnie Isimeli for the wonderful Radio interview over the phone on Friday last week.
Three boxes of Birthing Kits, knitted baby vests, jumpers, pens and pencils, masks and sanitizers are all winging their way to Kiriwina’s Losuia Health Care Centre, VBA’s and schools. Our In-country manager is hoping that the travel route stays open to deliver all the items personally by the end of this month. Fingers crossed.
Thanks again to all our donors, sponsors and volunteers. Without your help this work would not be possible.
