They come from Sydney Adventist Hospital, Sanitarium Health Foods (Aust and NZ), Adventist Media Centre and the administration of the SDA church in the South Pacific.
They are on a fact finding and awareness tour of Morobe (Lae), Highlands and Port Moresby (POM).
They will have visited schools, churches, hospitals, aid posts, prisons, Pacific Adventist University (PAU in POM) and met with teachers, nurses, pastors and the Governor General of PNG.
We have had Sid Nicolas and Trish Campbell staying with us. They are managers from the Sydney Adventist Hospital. Marilyn did her nursing training there used to work there as well - many years ago.
Tuesday and Wednesday the group had travelled up to Goroka and then flew out on Adventist Aviation planes to schools and aid posts in the Eastern Highlands.
On Wednesday night we had a 'bung kai kai' (basically a large potluck dinner) at the PNGUM office.
Before the meal I took some of the group up the street to the War Cemetery.
They also recieved bilums as a thank you.
It was great to meet some old friends from Avondale College days: Paul Ginn (Sanitarium new products division), Joshua Wambillie (undertreasurer at PNGUM here in Lae), David Abel (Sanitarium NZ) and myself.Thursday they visited ADRA PNG offices after doing some shopping for arts and crafts,
then flew out to POM to meet with the Governor General, staying at PAU while visiting some more communities before flying back to Australia on Sunday morning.
