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.
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.
This School Fee Scholarship has been set up to help students in desperate need of fee assistance. The Kiriwina Secondary School students who have been awarded this grant have shown that they are taking their studies seriously. When a student does not continue to show commitment towards their studies the award will be handed over to a more deserving student. There are many, many worthy students who need this assistance.
The lucky five CFK Scholarship recipients photos are shown below. The donors have been supplied with their students photos and profiles created by Deputy Principal ET at Kiriwina Secondary School and can communicate with their student via CFK.
Comment about Edward on FB: “One of my bubus son from Mwatawa, I am so happy. I was at home last December and he was the only humble boy to come by to spend educational talk. My bubus are illiterate and this is their son who made it to higher school. Happy tracking him.”

Kiriwina High School students recipients of the CFK School Fee Scholarship 2020. From left: Benny, Edward, Jane, Kelenia and Ruben Ruben. Culturally Kiriwinan’s think they need to look serious in official photos, that is why no smiles… They are extremely happy to receive this assistance.
Thank you Kiriwina Secondary School staff for implementing the Scholarship, especially the Headmaster of Kiriwina Secondary School, Mr Abraham Kobwata and t Mr. E.TOPIRIM-Deputy Principal Administration/CFK Agent/Kiriwina Secondary School. Most of all thank you so much to all the donors that provided the $100 yearly school fee. It is a very small amount to change a child’s life.
Due to COVID restrictions our visits have been few and far between, my best birthday present ever!!! Allowed to give him a COVID elbow hug and a masked kiss!! Just adore this wonderful human being!!!!!
