The visit to Papua New Guinea in September 2009, proved to be a very successful and happy experience for us all as a group. 

The opportunity to interact with our friends at Asaroka / Goroka was truly a rewarding and blessed experience for all of us.We were privileged to be given a tour through the classrooms at Asaroka High School, to see the teachers and students in action. The Library and Computer facilities at the Asaroka High School have gone ahead in leaps and bounds. The Library has been increased in size, so that more books and students are able to be accommodated. The computer room is completely set up for the teaching of computing to the students. There is now a computer teacher at the Asaroka High School, which makes it a lot easier to teach the students computing skills. The Asaroka High School was also provided with some paint/ brushes/ rollers etc… to paint the roves of some of the classrooms. This should enable the extension of the life of the roofing iron sheets on the roves of these buildings. (Many of the irons sheets are badly rusting.)

 We were able to assist them at the Asaroka Primary School by providing them with a rainwater tank & pump. This was still to be installed at the time of departing P.N.G. for Australia, and should be operational in the near future. This all will enable the staff, students, and the local people at the primary school to have easy access to clean fresh water.  We can also learn so much from them. importance of their Christian faith is something that encouraged us all. May God bless our partnership with Asaroka.
