Laptops for Kapuna Life School
Kapuna Life School, which serves the educational needs of some of the children from Ara’ava and Kairimai, our neighbouring villages, and Kapuna itself, recently received a significant boost in our efforts to integrate technology into our teaching. This step came about when Litehaus International, in partnership with Total Energies PNG, learned about our school’s situation and generously donated six HP computers.

Being out here in the swamps of the Gulf province is great, especially when there is chaos in the cities, we [Hobbits] love peace and quiet and good tilled earth.. Someone recently said it feels like you guys are still living in the ’50s” which I will take as a compliment, and with so much wonderful new technology, like solar power, nice showers, lawnmowers, and somewhat reliable internet, this is the best of both worlds. But we can’t live in a bubble. As Christians, we are called to be salt, and if we lose our saltiness we are to be thrown out. So what is it to be Salt in PNG today?

Dr Lin Calvert
I paused to soak in the scene before me. I had come to the remote Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea to write a book about the Calvert family, who, together with the local medical team, transformed medical care in the region.
Now, bathed in sunlight streaming through a window in her home, the elderly Lin Calvert sat bent over her Bible, grasping a magnifying glass. A doctor known as ‘Grandma,’ or Bubu Mei in the local Koaki dialect, the then-89-year-old didn’t notice me as she meticulously noted what God had taught her through the years.
I remembered this image when I learned that Bubu Mei died at age 98 on August 8, after serving nearly seven decades at Kapuna Hospital in Papua New Guinea. She and her husband Peter, along with their two young children, first arrived at the mission hospital in 1954. Their work enabled Kapuna to serve more than 45,000 tribal people making their home in the remote area accessible only by boat.
