With the departure of the container from Sydney I left the narrative hanging to attend to some other pressing issues!
The container arrived at Lae, PNG on 23 May. Ships go from Lae to Buka every two weeks, but we have to wait on a decision by PNG Customs before the container can go on from Lae. The Bougainville Women's Federation have applied for a duty exemption but the process has been quite protracted as various kinds of further documentation were required. It sounds as if some progress is being made, so we hope it will be resolved soon.
The Hako Women's Collective (HWC) works for the welfare of the Hako community in northern Buka, and in partnership with other women's groups in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, PNG
