Hi friends! It’s been a while. Some of the best weeks of my life – so busy – one of my best friends here on the island with me, and the Papua United team joined us at the RARCC for a week to raise HIV&AIDS awareness through soccer in the surrounding villages and helped out with the sweet potato/moringa development project. (Check out the RARCC Facebook page for the full story)

Here are a few pictures 🙂 enjoy.
