Papua, New Guinea is Australia's closest neighbour. Inhabited by 6 million people, it is only one hour's flight from Cairns, however, for the nation's children in remote highland and coastal villages, there are no high tech' classrooms. Villages and communities must construct their own elementary and primary school buildings and organise their own education systems.
Schooling is not free in PNG! Kids can only go to school if their families are able to pay fees. Villagers rely on sales from their fresh produce to the other locals and from their craft works to the occasional tourists who find their way to these remote parts of the country
If you can help with good used books - suitable for primary school children, teachers and schools, please contact Books 4 PNG Kids.

A great way to help our near neighbours.

Send those old books to a place where they really make a difference.
