Papua New Guinea
Recent tribal conflict in the Western Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea, where an attack on the village of TKD instructor Mr Simon Kama (4th dan) resulted in more than 40 houses being burnt down. An RTR seminar held in Australia raised sufficient funds for 1 kunai house to be built. These funds were forwarded to ITF PNG and used by Mr Kama and his village, acknowledged in the following letter:
Dear Mr. Banicevich
I was posted to a remote Province in the Highlands region and I did not have access to Internet and email so I was not able to send you the brief report of the fundraising from ITFNZ towards my village when it was destroyed by the neighboring clan. My apologies.....
On behalf of my tribe and most of the people who have benefited on the fundraised funds from ITFNZ family, I would like to thank each and everyone with my heart who have contributed one way the other. As many villagers proclaimed that it was a blessing that such assistance came from overseas through the TKD connections. In their speeches they thanked the ITF TKD community in NZ who thought of us when we were in dire need.
We have built seven (7) houses worth K1000.00 each for seven families and divided the remaining money between other people who were affected in this disaster. They at least bought a Pot, plate, cup, second hand clothes, leathern lamp or water container etc... I have retained K5000.00 from that donations to contribute towards purchasing a new vehicle replacing my Suzuki that got burnt during the crisis.
Once again Thank you very much to yourself and all the Masters and Instructors who assisted my people during the crisis.
Kind Regards
Simon Kama
