PNG Sustainable Development Fund Partners Up and Provides Fuel

YWAM Medical Ships is thrilled to announce that the PNG
Sustainable Development Fund offered to provide the funds
for 17,000L of fuel to ensure the ship continues to sail this
year, and in turn, continues to do healthcare in the remote
area of the Western Province.
In terms of distance, the amount of fuel that’s being funded
takes the ship from Port Moresby to and from the Western
Province twice, then back to Townsville in late September, and
then back to Port Moresby again when outreaches begin in
2012 (about 3,000 kilometers). The burden of fuel costs has
been lifted and YWAM is thankful for the support of this new
partner.
YWAM Medical Ships has been looking for partners to back
the work of the ship in this practical way. When entities like the
PNG Sustainable Development Fund see the work of the ship
and decide to provide for different needs of the ship, it allows
the volunteers to get on with what they’ve come to do – to give
to those in need. The fact that we have partnered with a group
in PNG is a great encouragement to the work of the ship.
