Wanepap to have a clean water supply///

I'm pleased to announce that we are the successful applicant of the Luena Foundation's small grant program for Community Water Supply Project. The project will connect water into the Wanepap Community, the primary and high schools, Wanepap TVET center, Wanepap rural health post, Wanepap Community Cultural Center and the Catholic station. Wanepap is one of the densely populated communities in the Lagaip district hosting a number of key services but water has been a major problem disrupting normal operations of the services and livelihoods of the people. I was trying best to seek assistance outside of the country and fortunately the foundation in USA is thrilled to assist given the genuineness of our funding request although the size of the grant is small. The community and schools will meet the self contribution component of the project as water is essential for life. Finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Luena Foundation in USA and also two of my referees especially the PNG National Cultural Commission and UNDP in PNG who provided positive responses to the interview questions regarding my creditability and the community.

My foundation assisted an amputated woman received artificial leg///

An elderly woman went crippled after her violent husband chopped off one of her legs. She struggled with one leg in her strive to live normally. Due to irregular geography coupled with bad weather and given the hostile environment created by clansmen, people with disability are adversely affected. I have sighted her and decided to help with an artificial leg and today she was full of smiles and enjoyed her new artificial leg. She was so thrilled and thankful for the unconditional love.

I am thrilled to announce that Lagaip Poverty Relievers Association is the recipient of the German Embassy grant assistance to construct Wanepap Cultural Resources Center building. This project is co-funded by the Government of Ireland through the Irish Aid and Sambe Unity Development Association. It's partnership between the National Cultural Commission and the Lagaip Sangai Festival to preserve, protect and promote cultural heritages, historical objects and documentaries.

It will be a archive for vast collections of rituals, poems, histories, myths and legendaries. It's a center for cultural learning for the children to gain cultural knowledge and insights. It will be our community-based mini museum for preservation of dozens of artefacts and crafts, traditional costumes, objects bearing cultural significance. The building also serves other crucial purposes like fully furnished conference office to provide community-based capacity building programs in partnership with our development partners in the areas of climate adaption and mitigation initiatives, farming, sizeable kitchen for women to engage in local food formulation and room for temporary storage of humanitarian aids, and Sangai studio music and media production among others. The second floor exclusively consists of standard rooms for guests, tourists and visitors. I express my profound gratitude to the Federal Republic of Germany for the allocation of much needed support that will be used to procure entirely the materials required for construction.

Last year, the community group, Lagaip Poverty Relievers Association (LPRA Inc) gave out essential tools to the Tupak sub-clan of Tamagal in the Pilikambi LLG. The Tupak clan was continuously implicated in strings of interclan warfares that resulted in devastation of food gardens, homes and personal belongings. My CBO supplied them the farm tools and encouraged them to resettle with hope of better life. Now it brought a sense of satisfaction when I learned that most of the displaced families have built new homes, cultivated new food gardens and settled well with rest of the community.

The project was funded by the Government of Ireland through its Irish Aid program.

My brother Londe Yowan, chairman of the Wage cultural show and Tony Sulupin chairman of Lagaip Sangai Festival are working on a long mission to rehabilitate Wage LLG in the Kandep district. Although we start from nathing, we have a vision that the children of Wage must access to proper education, health care and safe home. The people in this part of the world have their own story to tell that their livelihoods are not as normal as many families in the rural or urban settings. There are several factors attributed to the negative implications the Wage people are enduring but what am finding it heart-touching is that innocent children and their mothers are longing for better future in light of the fast changing digital world . Therefore, we pledged to work at our disposal to serve these underprivileged people for the love of humanity.
