Not sure how one would change it though. As much as I disagree with the reason behind many village court cases I'm not sure how feasible it would be to implement an alternative. Mediation needs to happen one way or another or the tribal fighting would get totally out of hand.Robert Nana,

Regarding your collection of toys - the Highlands Foundation and several Rotary Clubs send over containers regularly. Perhaps you could make enquiries with one of those organisation to assist with the transport. On the other hand I totally understand why you would want to hand deliver these gifts personally and see the kids smile for yourself.Robert Hi Rose,

The state cannot develop Provinces according to its planning rapidly as compensation issues are becoming outragiously very costly.. Major development needs to go on...Yes, the state has every power to outlaw this nonsense and not tolorate it. Damage to public properties are just unbeliveable that investors do not want to build where infrustructures will not last for the next fiveyears.nana Hi Rob,

Thanks for the update information on my once beautiful town Goroka. It seem you spend a bit of time working with the hospital. One day in the near future not too far away, I plan to visit the hospital esspecially the childrens ward and bring a smile to the sick kids faces with my collection of toys, clothes and linen I have been accumulating over the years just to bring it to the childrens ward. The problem is how to get it there. I am hoping I win lotto and send it by plane and also I would love to build a play park or room for the sick children. They deserve to be happy. The sound of crying, miserable kids in the ward always breaks my heart in thousand pieces and dream that one day I would love to bring a smile to those cute faces. For now I will just wait, hope and dream for the day I will transpot the toys over to the children. RH Brisbane Hi Rob!

People from other highlands provinces are gradually taking over the whole town causing more chaos in law and order, putting more pressure on the hospital with increase number of patients and the list will go on. To the EHP regional mp, members of the different electorates in the province, ward councillors, Town Mayor and responsible leaders in the communities, please leave your differences behind and put your hearts, hands and minds together to bring back Goroka and Eastern Highlands back to its original state. We seem to be taken advantage of everytime because of our Nokondi attitude----- too nice, too soft and too good!
