I am very concerned with the political turmoil within our government with the about turn from stability to uncertainty. I would like to be updated and informed as to where this political hic up will take our beautiful nation.Soifua Tanu

Great Initiative.

Brother I'm more than happy and thrilled to reading with tears of happiness, recalled every moment we've been through in our childhood days back in our village. keep soaring high, our prayers will be with you, keep writing more. Kudos, brother!

Very brilliant initiative. Information is power so I SALUTE you bro and encourage you to continue writing such inspirational life stories that one can relate to from everywhere in PNG. Hope this is not the last book, I long for more. God bless PNG.........

I am deeply blessed and thrilled to read this very article as I always believe that students are ambassadors to thier family or community and therefor agents of change to thier communities, if supported by relevant government agencies to carry out such impactful yet real life changing programs. Keep striving out there brother Gurame Moiya.

A very compassionate and patriotic perspective from a intelligent young man. His concept is a game changer if adopted by other Uni students to other communities. The sincerity of the student voice is so powerful as they are still in very close contact to their societies and the challenges. I commend this initiative and I was fortunate to have met this brilliant young academic in ANU with his colleagues, equality bright and energetic. I have found a new confidence for PNG's future after my brief encounter and introduction to these 10 students from UPNG visiting ANU for the summer school.

Very inspiring article. The only way to bring changes to your community is to work collaboratively with the local leaders and the MPs as well. Students are eager to help but they need financial support to push them. This article written by Gurame Moiya is very informative and inspiring. Keep it up, Gurame.

That is a great Initiative undertaken by the young elites. We need to continue the efforts to make awarenesses to shift the mindset of our people back in the villages and towns. They are the majority.

Very informative and also reflects the many challenges faced by many university students in Papua New Guinea. Thank you Gurame for sharing your experience and also seeing you excel. Keep doing what you can in your capacity to influence the next generation. Kudos, Leader!

Hi Elisapeci, In Fiji, people need to apply through the NEC to be in the pool of people who can then potentially be selected. That is, people need to opt in first, if they want to participate. Then, because these are employer-sponsored visas, they must then be selected and hired by employers, as with any recruitment process. There is no drafting, "plucking", or forced participation of any kind in modern Pacific labour mobility schemes. "Most have little or no skills" is also not correct, they're skills are evidently valued or they would not be hired vis a vis other potential hires in Fiji, other Pacific countries, and beyond. While there are definitely also some English language barriers for some groups, again suggesting that "most know little or rudimentary English" is incorrect and not consistent with either the data or personal experience interacting with these workers. Best, Ryan
