I have decided to make myself available for presentations and discussions on my adventures and travels in PNG. PNG is alleged to be one of the most violent countries in the world and when reading news stories one cannot be blamed for arriving at this conclusion. There is another side to PNG that hardly ever gets told and through my presentations I would like to share a totally different and mostly unknown side of this beautiful country and it’s people.

These presentations can take the following form and will be tailored based on the target audience:

  • Photo sessions with running comments.
  • Anecdotes and sharing the volunteer experience.
  • How to travel PNG and stay safe.
  • PNG Village stays.
  • Life in a PNG settlement.
  • PNG History and Geography.
  • Excerpts of some of the poetry I have written on the PNG experience.
  • Questions and Answers.
  • Tok Pisin for beginners.
  • A combination of any of the above.

If you are aware of any organisations or community groups that could benefit from these talks please make contact with me through my email address : wanbel@trupela.com

I leave you with the following lyrics to “Imagine” by John Lennon..

Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
