Okay Everyone
The first informal MEET, GREET, CONNECT is on Saturday January 9, 2010 between 9am and 3pm. ELA BEACH, POM
We will be having a small sausage sizzle fundraising and would like to invite you all in POM to come down and chat, have some BBQ stuff and lets connect. We already have skeleton plans for next year so we need your help.
Just so you know PPNG is going to be launching and running a nationwide campaign for attitude change and patriotism. It’s called simply: the CHANGE CAMPAIGN (aka OPERATION SENISIM PASIN).
Here what can be done at the MGC ss:
- Meet up with us
- Find out more about PPNG
- Ask questions (explore answers wit us)
- Sign up as an official PPNG member
- Enlist as a volunteer to help plan and organise the CHANGE CAMPAIGN
- Or just chill with us!
- We’ll probably be near the B/ball courts so we could probably play some ball too!
Well put it on your calendar and do get involved.
From our previous message bout meet and greet some of you responded well even with great suggestions. As I said then you all have something that is valuable to PPNG and subsequently to PNG so please come along and contribute ideas bout how we can change this country thru PATRIOT PNG INC.
God Bless as you celebrate His Coming into the World...

WHAT IS THERE TO BE PATRIOTIC ABOUT IN PNG??
Hi Patriots,
Sorry this week’s message bit late.
A friend asked another: “What is there to be patriotic about in PNG?”...He thought good question and answered with another: “Would you like your children to grow up saying the same thing? Or would you want to make a difference so that maybe they can have a bit more to be proud of than we do?”
Someone once said: “Patriotism is your belief that your country is superior to all others because you were born in it!”. Patriotism is not about loving your country only when it is doing something for you. But loving it despite the negatives and willing to make it better no matter what. Giving our children a better future should drive us to becoming better patriots who seek the good of this country rather than back away because we don’t see what it is doing for us.
In fact if we really consider all things our country does give us much. Consider these: How did you acquire education? Even in a private school its the State that allowed that school to be set up.. If you flew to another country, what country is stamped on your passport, giving you an identity thereby making it possible to fly away? The job you have, even in private, wouldn’t be possible if the State didn’t allow it? The car you drive, how did it get here ‘cause we surely didn’t make it in our villages? The fuel in it? The phones, the internet, the PMV, the electricity, the water supply, the freedom, the information, entertainment, the sports,....and on and on and....THE IDENTITY: WHAT WOULD YOU CALL YOURSELF IF NOT FOR THE COUNTRY??
ITS TIME WE SEE OUR GLASS AS HALF FULL RATHER THAN HALF EMPTY.
God Bless Papua Niugini!!
Heavenise Week!
