Life sometimes takes strange twists and at the time its difficult to understand why things happen as they do. I figure life is like a book - with chapters - and it's time to close the chapter on volunteering and start a new chapter. I plan on making PNG very much a part of this new chapter. I will be back quicker than what you can say "kakaruk"!!Regards,Robert Daniel,

I have a deep gratitude for the friendships that have developed over the past few years with PNG'eans in general but especially with those that contribute and participate in the PNG blogging scene. Although most of us have never met face to face I feel we share a common love and purpose. May we continue to interact and grow together despite the geographic distances.Regards,Robert David,

I'll miss reading your PNG stories, but I guess in another couple of weeks I'll be making my own. UNI is working on the flight scheduling now. I know I'm making the right decision and all your stories have provided me with so much insight. Just visiting for 4 days, I was sad when I left! PNG is a special place and I can't wait to document my own journey. I'm coming to bring my expertise, yet I have a feeling I'll learn more than I'll ever be able to teach. I know this time is bittersweet for you, but no doubt you'll return! Safe travels! --Wendy Best of luck to you, Robert.
