Hi David!
how are you? it has been a long time since our New Zealand meeting. Just
keep your cool and I guess we can sort things out diplomatically. Normally
as a global network it does take some time and it could be frustrating at
times. What is more important is we keep doing what we are doing and I am
happy of what you're doing in PNG. The global network is here to support and
learn from each other yet we are also busy working on our local communities.
In times when no one is giving out support most specially when you needed
one can really be frustrating but look a sit as a challenge. Overcoming that
obstacle can be a very good learning and empowering experience. Its all up
to us as members to fill in the gap of the network.. its never perfect.
Cheers and Good Luck
Patrick Ty
