I haven't posted for a while because sadly there has been nothing much to report. The container of goods is still in port at Lae and waiting for clearance, which has not yet happened because we are still waiting for decisions on our applications for exemption from duties and GST. Nina and Barbara at the Bougainville Women's Federation office in Buka have been working hard on this but no answer yet.
On a brighter note, the BWF is expecting to move into the new building at Buka Market in mid September and really looking forward to getting more projects started. Some things will have to wait as they depend on the materials in the container, but in the meantime it will be great to set up the office and meeting rooms.
