Adventures in PNG 2 - GOING BACK TO MY ROOTS
I have mentioned in previous newsletters that my work in Papua New Guinea is offering me MORE that the opportunity to achieve some amazing, pivotal work for a great organisation.
My family on my father's side is from PNG - so this work has also given me that great opportunity to go back to my roots and a bit of a personal discovery tour as well. My client has a base in the port of Lae, which is so close to where my father was born it's ridiculous! Lae is where my grandparents lived before fleeing the Japanese and coming to Australia as refugees in 1942. I found out that were going to be travelling to Lae the day after the 7th anniversary of my father's death - and the week of my travels - making this trip quite a significant and exciting one!!
So just last week, I spent 8 full-on, adventurous and busy days - in my hiking boots in PNG traveling to various sites where my client has significant business. I did 7 flights in 8 days - with the standard travel day starting at 4am - and finishing around 9pm. Standard business day - 7am - 9pm (slave drivers!) I also visited 2 Gold mine camp operations as well as a commercial catering operation at a university. Here are some funny stories about Adventures in PNG 2. I hope you have a laugh!!!
WHOOOOHOOOO!!!!!

Candles for Community - Soy candles with spice and soul - raising money for Lucy in the Congo
I recently discovered the benefits of burning natural candles made from soy – as opposed to the candles most people are used to burning made out of paraffin wax – which is a petroleum based product that emits toxic carcinogens when burned.
I had been burning a beautifully fragranced candle in my office for a few months – until it burned away leaving a sooty mess! I started to question how BAD burning paraffin is and started looking for natural alternatives – and I found SOY!
