DRIVER'S LICENSE UPGRADES

-

So I went to MVIL to upgrade my class 6 provisional license today. I got it done and I thought I'd also enquire about my PMV permit for route 600.
I had previously applied for a PMV driver's permit but was told to wait till the class 6 provisional license was upgraded to a full class 6 license in order to get one.
Anyway, I thought usually it would be done at the CENTRAL Province Transport office but then I was told to go to MVIL.
I then went back to MVIL and the officer there told me to go back to the CENTRAL Province Transport office.
I told the officer that "I was sent here from there" so she asked a colleague of hers and she was finally informed of that I had to go to Kerema to get my permit as the PMV I would be driving is a route 600 PMV, which travels from Port Moresby to Kerema.
I then realized that the correct informed is not disseminated to most of the staff in both offices so the public unfortunately are given the run around.

By Dennis Badi and John Brooksbank THE forests were the reason Pierre Dhorne came to PNG in 2006. He was in the country to review a logging proposal and its likely impact on the Foe speaking people of Lake Kutubu. Whilst the outcome of his study was in some ways predictable, the three months that he and fellow French masters student Laure Miaillier spent amongst local communities ended up being a remarkable experience for the couple. The WWF Kikori River Programme, based in Moro, hosted the students whilst they helped its project field staff develop a catchment management plan for the area surrounding Lake Kutubu, identifying threats to the region and gathering baseline scientific data. Lake Kutubu is the highest freshwater lake in Papua New Guinea, situated at an altitude of 808 metres. The lake was created after an early volcanic eruption blocked off a Highlands valley, resulting in the isolated evolution of its fish population. The lake supports an astonishing diversity of creat

Wangbin Primary School Tabubil, Western Province, today celebrated World Environment Day with activities that lasted the whole day. The students and teachers were out in full force with activities such as Poem reading, environmental song performance, poster and drawing displays and so forth. Here are lyrics of a song that was sung at the occasion by the grade 5 pupils. It is called Environment and was written by Mr Neville Unduko, an expressive arts teacher. Song: Environment Verse 1 Tree in the highlands, trees in the lowlands Trees here and there and tress everywhere Grow them for us and take care of them Our Motherland, make PNG Pride Chorus Our country, our habitat Our land of beautiful environment Our souls and minds of our people My land, my life my all Verse 2 The plants on the tress, insects alike Butterflies, bees and beetles and bugs Grow them for us and take care of them Our motherland, make PNG Pride Written by Mr Neville Unduko

Well it's been awhile since I've written something. Maybe because I've been moving around so much, I didn't seem to have the time to write up something. Anyway, I am now in Tabubil, Western Province, Papua New Guinea. I work as a Broadcaster with Radio Fly, a radio station that services the OKTEDI Mining Limited staff & contractors as well as the communities that benefit directly or indirectly from the resource. It's been what, four months now since I joined and it's been good so far. I must admit it is quite different from commercial radio but it's a different challenge at that. The radio station I work for comes under the Community Relations Department of OKTEDI Mining Limited . Anyway, Tabubil is a small organised town compared to other small towns in the country. They call it the "umbrella town" as it rains non-stop here. If it doesn't rain in the day than definately it does at night. Makes you wonder, if the government builds a h
