My parents met in Goroka, my eldest brother was born there

9My parents met in Goroka, my eldest brother was born there. We used to say he’s the Highlander of the family, the mudman. Mum and dad lived all over png, dad reporting as a journalist all corners and mum teaching all corners. Learning about the best of png through their stories of life there then, it’s beautiful but it breaks my heart. 

We’ve all seen it change so much in our life times but the peaceful Melanesian nation our parents talk of is completely torn to pieces. 

I love seeing people share these pictures and moments, it reminds me we were once civilized, we were once heading for a brighter future and if we work hard enough, and push those we know to doing right instead of what’s easy, we can deliver this beautiful hopeful future back to our children.

I’m going to be launching some projects this year, I hope you’ll support and get involved. 

The best time to start saving ourselves from sinking is right now, with our own two hands, no one else is coming to save us 😔
