Who I am Use of CTB
I am a student in the Papua New Guinea University of Technology doing my third year in Accounting. Due to the current law and order problems in my country, I think of doing something as an educated citizen to at least educate my fellow people to live a peaceful life. However, due to lack of knowlede, manpower and finance, nothing has been done yet. With the concern I have, I organized my community boys and formed an association to cater for the problem by educating people about peaceful and safe life, delivering basic services as possible as we can, organizing community develop works such road clean ups and education promotion teachings.The association was formed in 2006 but it was not registered and will be probably registered in June, 2009. Desperately, I need such information and fortunately I found your site and collect excellent documents. With that I really thank you and may God bless your organization.
This site is much, much useful to me. At least I think I found the gold that will help my visions fulfilled. Your resources under community development are very useful to me. I really appreciate you all.
