25.01.2022 The United Nations Article 24 of the Constitution of the Rights of a Child. This child was photographed in a village one day's walk from Kanabea, he received immunisations in the clinic run by the PNG Foundation nursing volunteers.

20.01.2022 To get to any of the villages surrounding Kanabea you must cross many bridges like the one pictured and even waterfalls!

18.01.2022 Graeme's tropical boil is much cleaner thanks to PNG Foundation

15.01.2022 Welcome to our Facebook followers! For all the 'Likes', comments & sharing, we thank you.

15.01.2022 John Ward, the man who set up PNG Foundation, was just as surprised as the person who showed him he'd made the front page of the Senior newspaper!

11.01.2022 This little family is stopping to nurse the baby on a walk between two villages. The baby is being carried in a 'bilum'- a stretchy bag, hand woven from bark that has been pounded with a rock and rolled repeatedly to make a tough string. It is used exclusively by women and carried with the handle slung over the forehead. Bilums can be used to carry just about anything. Taro, sweet potatoes, greens, two minute noodles, clothes, building materials, tools, firewood and babies, sometimes all at once!

10.01.2022 Rome may not have been built in a day, but when the whole village is working on it almost a whole house can be. This 100% bamboo structure is destined to be a community meeting place. There are no nails, metal or synthetic materials used anywhere in the construction. All wood is tied on or woven in. The man on the top right corner of the roof can even be seen tightening a knot with his teeth. In four years time they'll have to give it a new roof since the bamboo leaves will become waterlogged and hold in too much smoke.

08.01.2022 Lovely thank you on Tripadvisor from a couple who recently stayed at Yarra Valley Estate, and who love the fact that proceeds from their stay, go towards funding PNG Foundation to enable us to do the volunteer work we do in Kanabea.

08.01.2022 Family portrait- Kanabea style!

04.01.2022 "PNG's relative level of poverty in relation to neighbouring countries is increasing and it now ranks 145th out of 177 countries on the United Nations Development Programme Human Development Index." - W.H.O. This baby was born in the Kanabea clinic in 2013, babies here are generally not given a name until they are a year or two old because the infant mortality rate is so high.
