Education

You managed to deliver help, hope, and healing in our game … but can you do it in real life too?

MAF facilitated two flights delivering over 50 boxes of books to Tekin, Sandaun Province. These boxes weighed 24kg each and were full of school books by Bilum Books – an organisation that provides educational resources throughout PNG, such as student workbooks and teacher guides.

‘Literacy levels are very low in PNG and we know that if people are literate there’s going to be development,’ said Glenda Giles, a Bilum Books trainer.

The books are written to be easily understood, for students of all ages and teachers, and cover areas like English, Maths, and Science. They aim to provide an authentic view of PNG culture and are made with the hopes of being shareable and reusable.

Christian Books Melanesia (CBM) is the distributor for Bilum Books throughout PNG. Carol Luttah, the General Manager of CBM, said, ‘Having MAF willing to fly those books to various parts of the country brings the whole thing home, because there’s no point of having a book that can’t reach the final user.’

Please give £15 to fly more education resources and supplies to remote schools in PNG.
