'NAIMAM TAENGE PIMAN' in Enga means we must do it ourselves. Under that theme, the Tinjipaka Community and the Upper Mareant in Kandep Distruct Enga Province is starting to do what they can to help themselves.
They started with maintaining a 10 km road for free. Now as me and my families little input to my community under that theme, we are aiming towards rebuilding the heath service in my village.
On Friday, I delivered iron posts, cement bags and nails to start the construction of an outpatient building of Tinjipkaka Lutheran Health Centre. And we dipped into our pockets to help these people who are cut off from basic government services.
I drove all the way to Tinjipaka on the good road that was maintained by the people back home. A marvellous and tremendous effort was put on the road maintainance by people. People truly showed their faith in God.
Though the building we are starting is costy, we are starting it just by faith. We are hoping for light to reach this part of the community which is cut off from the government services.
The outpatient building construction was launched in a short ceremony with the Tinjipak community and a carpenter was engaged. The labor will be provided by locals under the theme above. The carpenter will start the building construction tomorrow.
