Sori tru, bata kisim late bus na nau tasol kam kamap long displa kona blong yu.

“9.The humanity. There is more humanity in PNG than what you will ever find in the collective of the developed world. I remember on one of my return trips to Sydney, my 2nd day back in town at a local shopping center – a man had fallen over and hurt himself badly – I stood back as I watched people just walking past and avoiding eye contact at all cost. The westerner within also wanted to just wander off and pretend that nothing had happened. But the newly found Papua New Guinean within walked over and reached out to another human in need. Later that day as I shared the story with Mum – I shed a tear for my people and felt a deep shame that this is what my culture has become.”

I am proud to be a Papua New Guinean regardless of what the outside world thinks of us. You just have to come here to PNG and see for yourself what this land is all about. Thank you Robert for sharing this message to others as well….Bata stret !
