Religion and the churches have played an important role in shaping the livescof many Papua New Guineans (PNG), giving amny of us the opportunities to education and development. Many of us were educated by nuns, lay missionaries, priests and brothers, sounds Catholic. Yes having been taught from prep to high school by Catholic education, I always value the work of the church.
Recently on a short holiday to my village Lido outside Vanimo on the northern tip of PNG, I was sad to see the little church in my community rotting away with little much the faithfuls can do. Being a rural community with little opportunities for making money, these people need outside help to rebuild the church.
I have decided to nominate myself to be a fundraiser for the restoration of this church and thought getting the information out to as many people as possible would be good. A blog has been developed for this purpose and you can see it here. An appeal is being made to anyone reading this to send this to as many friends and contacts as possible. God bless you.
