A huge thank you to our wonderful Gladstone Daysies for all of your hard work!

Do the Gladstone Daysies look excited? You Bet! Last Sunday we finished packing the kits we promised to the PNG Health Project for this year. On Thursday Brian and Marguerita will be transporting 375 regular kits and 100 post partum kits to Brisbane. This is the start of the kits' long trip to PNG and to the remote villages where the kits will be distributed to girls and women in desperate need of them. After a short break we will be back at the machines preparing for the distribution next year. We feel proud to have achieved this number of kits this year.

PNG HEALTH HEROES
“Growing up, I was privileged enough to have several family members in the healthcare field. Their tales of saving lives, solving the unsolvable and curing the incurable never seemed to end, and filled me with awe and amazement. To me, they were superheroes and it only felt right that I should try to become one myself.

PNG’s healthcare system is as diverse as its culture, with multimillion-Kina facilities in the urban areas, while many in rural settings struggle to afford mere painkillers and antibiotics. I hope to help bridge that gap and provide quality healthcare to the places that need it the most.” - Magdalene Webster

In light of the gruesome domestic violence cases that have been occurring in PNG recently... If you or someone you know is the victim of domestic violence, there are helplines available. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by these tragedies.

PNG HEALTH HEROES
“Ever since I was a kid, I can remember everyone saying to me, ‘You’re going to be a doctor when you grow up.’ A paediatrician father may have influenced this. However, I never regarded myself as ‘doctor material’. But as time progressed, and as I got more exposure over the past couple of years in medical school, I’ve developed a subtle passion for the healthcare profession. It's been an experience with plenty of love, faith and support from my family and friends, encouraging me all the more to walk this path.

I’ve still got a long way to go, but as I continue and become aware of and experience first hand the health burden in PNG, I am determined to be a better doctor and person in the future and see a change happen in this country.” - Nakapi Tefuarani Jr.
