This was the week we returned to Kovol. It was a little later than planned, but not too much really. We are glad to be back and we made a quick video so you can see what a helicopter flight into such a remote area of Papua New Guinea looks like.
Diggey diggey hole
So what to do with all our rubbish? We can throw the food waste in the bushes. The village pigs find some of it, and the rest decomposes. What of all our plastics and tins? The answer to that as been burning and landfill. We want to try and keep our area as nice possible and so that's what we've been doing. Since moving in in 2020 we have now filled 3 rubbish holes and this weekend it was time to dig a new one.

I don’t know if you remember me or not, but I was a pilot with SIL. I flew you guys a couple of times. We are back in the states now but I very much enjoy staying connected with your journey and work! As I reading your update it’s just getting light in the house and I can look over and see a picture hanging on the wall of Koval, and the helicopter sitting and waiting for the return trip.
I’m excited to hear that work in continuing! And that you had a “normal” trip back home!
