A.S. has started a brilliant idea and it’s well supported by one of PNG’s best web designer’s Dee who did the Halvim Wantok Appeal website. The Halivim Wantok Disaster Appeal (the Appeal), was launched on Sunday 25 November 2007 to raise funds from the corporate sector and the public at large that will support disaster relief and restoration activities in Oro province and other affected areas in the wake of the catastrophic floods.

Current funds raised are now up to around K550,000.00. Blary Hell that’s allot of money!! Well if they can be that successful  I hope other organisations can take some cues from this organisation and website. I hear the Red Cross Miss PNG pageant has been delayed, maybe they needed a website to better explain where their money’s been going, which of course maybe be what A.S. may have to do so to make this a long term initiative.

But great work guys and keep it up.  (I like the tapa cloth touch on the website, especially considering that it’s the Oro Province that they are focusing on, which is famous for it’s tapa cloths.)
