Hunting for the Liu Family Tree in Salamaua – PNG
November 3, 2009
One of the highlights of my October 2009 trip to PNG while working with new client KK Kingston in Lae was the opportunity to go back to the birth place of my father, aunts & uncles – Salamaua .
A sentimental journey – OH YES – and a very special opportunity.
Taking a day off ( a rare event for all of us), The Kingstons took me out on Tsunami to Salamaua – 45 min by boat from Lae.
It was a special moment, setting foot on the sands on the land where my father’s family come from. It is the quiet, tropical island paradise in your mind’s eye.
I can’t imagine what it was like in the 1930’s and before Japanese occupation and the evacuation of the area in 1942.
We walked through the village, meeting the local Salamauan’s enjoying a relaxing Sunday, and we also visited the cemetery. It has been so interesting to read up on my family history – and find out more about PNG and my connection to the country and the people.
Thanks to Keith and Michael for this very special day.

Cambodian Quilts help PNG People
November 3, 2009
I had quite a few quilts made by Women from New Hope For Cambodian Children and decided to take them up to PNG with me to be used – by people in need.
The ladies are all widows or abandoned wives, who are homeless, and have been sleeping at Pastor Bill Page’s Church until accommodation, could be found for them.
Say no more – just look at those happy faces.
