Yesterday American students, Katie Martin, Roger Bohon and Rodriques Jackson, left for Papua New Guinea and will be joined in Australia by Romanian native, Antonia Berki and Sharadha Ramakrishnan from India. The group will spend 2 days in Sydney, Australia going over Heritable Innovation Trust Orientation before heading to Papua New Guinea. Upon arrival the team will spend a few days with our Paupa New Guinea contact, Theresa Arak, at Amruqa before heading, via Banana Boat, to New Ireland. While in New Ireland, the team will stay with a community learning the spiritual ritual behind selecting a tree for a canoe as well as the traditional knowledge behind crafting the canoe. Following the three week canoe making process, the team will travel to Port Moresby to be a part of a Public Utility Water Project. This project focuses on working with the community to build a structure to serve the community of 3000 families up to 3 liters of potable water a day. We will have more information on the Public Utility Water Project in the upcoming days as well as additional updates from our team.
