🔥 Faith and Service Journey 🔥
10 Years of Charity Service (2016–2026)
For many years, I have walked with my people in sickness, struggle, and hope. 🌿
After graduating from Gaubin Training School under an Australia Awards ( DFAT) scholarship recipient. The knowledge and training I gained continue to serve my rural community today., I returned home like many job seekers in PNG with high expectations, but there was no job.
Instead of sitting idle, I chose to serve. ✨
I farmed cocoa, buai, and other crops while volunteering to care for the sick in my village.
I walked long distances to patients’ homes, treated them, and returned late at night exhausted — but fulfilled. 🏡💉
For all this time, I have served voluntarily with a humble heart. ❤️
---
I also worked with PNG IMR Madang as a clinician with the epidemiology team.
After saving some money, I approached the District Health Manager about building an aid post because our population travels far to reach Mugil Health Center.
I was told to look for funding elsewhere.
I prayed for wisdom 🙏 and decided to start with what I had — K500 from my tithe and my own fortnight pay.
---
I called the community together.
They agreed and supported the vision. 🌟
We fundraised by collecting small contributions, selling sausages, and using garden food and timber.
I treated patients from my home for a small fee to help push the work forward.
I worked 3–4 jobs daily — research work, farming, livestock, and patient care.
Many nights I slept at 1am and woke at 5am. ⏰💪
---
For two years, we built the aid post through community effort.
Youths, elders, and volunteers all worked without pay. 💪
Even the machinery we used was given free of charge.
I made sure there was always food for the team. 🍲
We built the aid post, VIP toilet, incinerator, and staff house through unity, sacrifice, and faith. ✨
---
The aid post was officially opened and registered by Madang Provincial Health Authority. ✅
Today it serves a population of 4,000+ people, including Bunu village and surrounding communities — three villages, three schools, and a 24-hour market.
We treat malaria, pneumonia, skin diseases, and refer TB and complicated cases to Mugil Health Center.
We also mentor youths — two have graduated as nurses, and others are being supported to pursue nursing or health-related studies. 🌱💙

Then came July 2025.
Gunfire filled our community. 🔫
Smoke rose into the sky. 🌫️
I shut the aid post door and evacuated patients.
We ran into the bush for safety. 🌳
My sister carried a gunshot patient to safety.
My staff house was burned down. 🔥
I lost all my property.
Half of the community was destroyed.
Livestock were killed and stolen.
I cried because I am innocent. 😢
I gave my life to serve freely, yet I faced such pain.
But they burned my house — not my calling. 💪
---
Even after losing everything, I continued voluntary service.
We carry water from a creek to treat patients at the aid post, serving our people daily — because service is a calling, not a job. ❤️
Farming cocoa and livestock will help me rebuild again. 🌱
---
I am grateful to all health personnel in PNG who save countless lives. 🙏
We all contribute to excellence in mankind.
To the people of Bunu village and surrounding communities —
this aid post exists because of our collective effort. 🌿
Nurses by choice and nurses by chance are two different things. 💙
---
As Dr Ben Carson said:
> “Success is never achieved alone.”
Ten years later, I remain committed.
My journey is faith. ✨
My journey is service. ❤️
My journey continues. 💪
