Last week was all about pumping water from the river, welcoming our American friends to PNG, and seeing lots of culture. We’ll post photos from the Goroka show soon!
 |
| While everyone worked on pumping water from the river, Everett and his friends chased his remote control car around the station. |
 |
| Everyone helped us get water from the river, even the women and children. |
 |
| Jeremy and our dear friend, Wesley, join pipe together to pump water from the river. |
 |
| Everyone lent a hand to prepare the pipe. |
 |
| Oh happy day! We finally got water from the river! |
 |
| This is where we waited for our friends’ plane to come in from Port Moresby. Lots of other folks were waiting as well. |
 |
| This was our first glimpse of our friends. We were so happy to finally see them. |
 |
| They were thrilled to finally have their feet on solid ground in Goroka. |

| The day after the team arrived, we attended the Goroka show, a local cultural exposition that happens once a year. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. Here, Olivia is teaching April the fine art of negotiation at the market. |
 |
| This little old man was helping one of the singsing groups at the show. He barely spoke Tok Pisin, but let me know that I could take his picture and posed for the camera. |
 |
| The local police and military kept us very safe at the show… |
