Ilai Tobitam got his new crutches at Chemcare Pharmacy yesterday after his first review. Stitches were removed today and sore dressed. Ilai is recovering and soon will return home to the Trobriand Islands.

Thanks to the donors for the new crutches.
Doreen’s image is at the centre of one of our main homepage photos and the photos here, as she was in life, one of the central, original Kiriwina Village Birth Attendants that cemented the group together. She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her.

Ilai will do his routine check ups until he is completely healed and will travel back to Kiriwina as soon as flights resume.
In the meantime, Ilai supports himself with crutches to move around the house especially to the rest room and to his bed. He feels much happier and relieved to be out of hospital. Ilai and his guardian Lawton would like to convey their innermost feelings of gratitude and appreciation to the following:
1. God Almighty for saving his life from the mouth of the shark
2. Dr. Giyodobu Tosiyeru – Losuia Health Centre
3. Losuia Health Centre workers
4. Tropic Air pilots and medivac team and management
5. Port Moresby General Hospital Emergency ward medical team
6. Port Moresby General Hospital Ward 2A medical team and the surgery team
7. All Donors who donated beddings and other necessities
8. Port Moresby Trobriand community who donated blood.
9. Port Moresby Trobriand community and other friends who visited Ilai at the hospital
10. All who have prayed for Ilai and wished him a speedy recovery.
The crutches he uses are too short so we will buy another set of crutches with the funds received.
Two large boxes of supplies are winging their way to our wonderful Kiriwinans. Thanks to all our sponsors and donors, volunteer packers and Andy the local postie :).

These photos are from our in-country manager’s latest reporting trip last month to Kiriwina. Photos show Kiriwinan VBA’s receiving and distributing CFK donated items of birthing kits, baby knitting clothes, pens and school bags which reach extremely remote regions of the Island.

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. 😍🙌
