Case spike
According to some world health experts, PNG should be seeing a spike in Covid-19 cases around this time in May. We hope they are wrong. But we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Tall and short
The world’s tallest man, Sultan Kosen from Turkey, meeting the world’s shortest woman, Jyoti Amge of India. He had to sit to shake hands with her.

When people act shady, pray for them. When people betray your trust, pray for them. But never sink to their level. Their choices are a direct reflection of who they are, not who you are.
