Our heart felt thanks goes to recent Pacific Aria cruise passengers Catherine Gardiner and her husband who volunteered to deliver bags of Birthing Kits to our head VBA on Kiriwina, see below Catherine’s lovely delivery confirmation message:

“We successfully delivered the birthing kits to Ruth. She was a lovely lady. We met her daughters and grand daughter. Ruth also gave me a hand made bag with my name woven into it. It is such a basic island as was Kitava Island. We saw some of your birthing kits on Kitava when we visited so they definitely make it across. I wished I had taken so much more to these lovely little islands. Am so glad we were able to help the wonderful work you do. Please let me know if there is any other way to stay connected.”

Calling all Cruise Ship Passengers going to Kiriwina please CLICK HERE to donate your CFK Birthing Kit delivery services. With the airport still closed your help is essential.

Thank you

CFK Cooking Fun-raiser success

Thank you to the team at Beyond Q: Jenni Lawton and Simon Maddox, Linda Douglas at Chefs Kitchen and Mary Jonmundsson for making the Cooking Fun-raiser such as success. The money raised from ticket sales has gone directly into the CFK bank account and purchased Birthing Kit contents for our now active Canberra Beyond Q birthing kit assembly group to be initiated. We have many VBA’s on Kiriwina and the outer Islands to supply and this has necessitated an expansion of our assembly teams, we are now based in Sydney and Canberra. Anyone interested in joining the Canberra working group please contact Jenni on 0421 526 344. Thank you also to all the supporters that came to the event and purchased cooking equipment from Chef’s Kitchen. 20% of the total purchase price will be sent to our Charity and Chefs Kitchen will supply some of their high quality kitchen equipment for us to raffle off in the near future. Keep an eye out for more updates.

As the airport is still closed we are so thankful to these Pacific Aria passengers for contacting us and offering to transport anything we required to Kiriwina. We have managed to pack and send another 80 Birthing Kits. Thanks again to the sterling efforts of Diana and Kylie Adams for rising to the challenge and getting these Birthing Kits packed and ready in the nick of time.

A beautiful day for our monthly brain storming session. Action plans in train. Sorry everyone, same shirt different meeting… at least the other girls have a more expansive wardrobe to prove my different day assertions.

The airport is still closed on Kiriwina which understandably creates many challenges on many levels. Our In-country manager will be in Brisbane in the next week and we have another lot of 50 birthing kits winging their way up to greet him when he arrives. Thank you to everyone involved for continuing to manage to try and work around this major obstacle.
