Doublie and Herron, two of MAFs ground staff, working out loading 270 boxesof food into the back of the Twin Otter
What is it like Living at 5,000 ft?
We live at 5,200 Ft above the
sea. The temperature is 22C allyear around, slightly cooler in the
evenings. When it rains, it starts at
4:30pm and stops before 5:30pm
and the mountain views are
spectacular.
Apparently, high altitude living
is healthy! Sydney has started
advertising special gymnasiums
with high altitude pseudo
environments for a good workout.I suggest Sydney advertises
some hard work expeditions to the
highlands here in PNG and do
some real good working out by
loading the Twin Otter with a few
tonnes of food five times a day!

Clares Billums and Maternity Packs
Clare continues to make Billums (local bags)from coffee sacks to raise Kina(local money) to
fund her maternity packs for mothers flown in onMEDEVAC flights.
These mothers often have their baby in thebush, but are then rushed by aircraft to hospitalbecause of a retained placenta.
Hospital conditions can be awful. No blankets,No fresh water to drink, No clothes for the newborn babies, and No sanitary towels for themothers.
Up to 25% of all new born babies dieanother 25% before the age of five.
Clares maternity packs make a small differencephysically, but much more importantly show thatsomeone cares, that someone loves them, and thatthere is something to look forward to
Blessed Hope
Online Water
It is amazing how much of a difference a supply of water pipe can make. Thesevillagers are putting on a full show to demonstrate how thankful they are to MAFand all their supporters. - Paul Woodington, 2013
