Great comments and ideas from Joshua and Awel! Thank you guys.
Good News "we will have certificate (KRDA CERTIFICATE) early next month". Thank you so much Tony for accomplishing this great task on behalf of the Koare Kids. For me, I see that by doing this you are putting yourself behind by putting the interests of the poor first. You are putting into practice what God requires of all Christian human beings – to show love and share the burdens of the needy and the poor, and you will be blessed in doing so in your life. A quote from Bible Scripture: Tobit 12: 8-9 It is better to pray sincerely and to please God by helping the poor…. It is better to give to the poor than to store up gold. Such generosity will save you from death and will wash away all your sins. Those who give to the poor will live full lives……… I know that your mum and dad are God loving people too so thank you.
Meantime, it is now time to get organized and to put processes in place on steps to seek assistances and funding. Lets not forget, this is a serious business and a big task. As such this association needs Koares who are prepared to commit/sacrifice for this course. We need people to put their hands up now…… NOT TOMORROW OR LATER. The KRDA now needs to get its intellectual manpower organized to carryout various tasks. Tasks such as:
(1) Identifying service areas;
(2) Writing out proposals in those identified areas;
(3) Disseminating the developing/emerging KRDA information to the community levels (people like Brian/Rex Yatu/Richard and others who may work in the mines that have time to go to Koare) this can be taken up by these boys;
(4) Collecting contact details of donor, charity, aid, foundation/agencies and the types of assistance they render and storing up all these infos on a database;
(5) Creating teams or individual basis to take charge of different / identified service proposals and many, many more……..
The issue of divided electoral boundaries within Koare is one topic the KRDA will battle out in time. Koares are unique people and it needs to be one, not splitted into two or three parts. The politicians may think that, but Koare Kids know that we are one and through this association will fight to be just that.
As John Rombo has mentioned, him and I are working on possible donors within Aussie & NZ. In PNG, the onus is at your hands over there to do the same, so KK kids from PNG put your hands up now and lets get organized.
The other fact is; the busy body intellectuals must at least support this course in contributing ideas or of some sort towards this association. My challenge is, where is your compassion for the poor and the needy??
The core of the problem that hinders service delivery is road. We must all put our heads together to achieve this in one way or the other. My credit goes to David Wereh for striving to make a change in the Koare road infrastructure system. We hope to see more of you David in this area and I cross my fingers. Thank you David. My personal passion is to see the Koare to Tindua road in operation, whether it'll be in a medium or long term phase. This projected road is a community project, hence there's no government recognition in its ability to progress. I believe the initiators of this project are expecting money from MP to compensate the builders for what they have already done. The MP Peter O'Neill is not coming good so it may be sitting still. Somehow, the initiators and the builders are to be empowered again to keep going regardless of the odds………………. This road once linked to Ialibu/Pangia highway, it will 100% benefit whole of Koare regardless of the so called tribes. Therefore, in anyways I can I will put my support behind this project.
With this from me, I look forward to hear some constructive and helpful messages from you KKK intellects!
Above all else, I pray that; may the merciful and eternal God enrich us with his wisdom, knowledge and direction for this (KRDA) course, and for all of our needs and of others needs - especially those who are oppressed and in need. May God bless you all for now and forever, Amen.

Subject: RE: Koare Rural Development Association Registration
Dear All Koare Kondas, You may be aware that Kuare Rural Development Association (KRDA) is in the final stages of full registration and thanks to Tonny for all his efforts put in to have the association got registered. Thanks also to Joshua Mole for sharing his sentiments and in fact he has expressed some significant issues/points that need to be contemplated upon to make the association a success. The association is entirely for the people of Koare and everyone either village people or educated Koares needs collaboration at this stage. Like Joshua as mentioned " he had spoken and appealed to all communities, leaders, ward councillors and individuals that those olden days where our forefathers living in stone ages strongly opposing the ideas and thoughts of other groups and too much defences are gone". These are the kind of words every educated individual, councilor, village magistrate or church pastors must bring to the villages, clans and tribes that they represent. We want one and united Koare. We live in the modern world and every society is changing to adjust to the changing world. We can't expect and leave it to the younger generation to change Koare. Today's educated Koaras should make this as a precedent to build better Koare and better future. We are capable of removing the tag that we carry. The tag that other societies have given to us .."BACK PAGE" tag. We don't have cash commodities and cash crops, we don't have machineries to generate cash in Koare but the good God has given us man. God has imparted knowledge and wisdom in man and this is the lethal weapon to break down all barricades. With those God given talents we can bring Koare from its slumber and remove the tag. Even God through his words told mankind that "First shall be last, and last shall be First". So let it be and let make other societies talk and admire our success. Thus we need to work together: in times of sorrow, in times of social and spiritual needs, in times of celebration, in times of politics etc. I believe KRDA can be a binding cornerstone to rectify our village politics differences and move Koare forward. All in all, KRDA is formed with the perception that all Koares will work together to share common ideas to unit and bring services to Koare. We need to work together to: - - Share ideas to write proposals to seek funding from donor agencies. - - Unite and put and end to tribal and political difference to bring peace to the societies. - -Boost and generate income for entire Koares. - - Improve education and health systems - - Improve our road system. - - Etc Credit must go to those who have already taken initiatives to bring services to Koare especially David Wereh for your role in the road maintaince, Joel Raitano in the Education sector, Sr. Rose John and the Catholic mission for Health facilities including HIV and AIDS testing centers, drugs and awareness. All the local teachers who strive hard despite all odds to educate the children of Koare and finally the nurses and Community Health Workers for your commitments to take care of the sick and unfortunate. Kind regards Awel Steven Hamilton City, Waikato, New Zealand
