Help Western Highlands parents

I AM looking at ways to raise funds through farming and marketing in order to pay school fees for my seven children.
I am concerned about the fees because for years, no leader has addressed our struggles with paying school fees.
Western Highlands, under the leadership of Governor Paias Wingti, should support the students and parents in subsidising the fees as what other provinces are doing.
Four of my children will be in high school, two will be in secondary school and the other will be attending a tertiary institution.
Help from the provincial government would be a relief for many parents .
Wingti is focusing on building more high schools and is not looking at helping to pay for fees just as other governors and MPs are doing for their people.
In Western Highlands, only Tambul-Nebilyer MP and Correctional Services Minister Win Bakri Daki is faithful with subsidising school fees for his people.
Dei MP and Immigration Minister Westly Nukundj did that once.
If other leaders can do it, why can’t Wingti and other Western Highlands MPs consider that as well?
My wife is very busy selling peanuts while I am busy with farming to raise money.
Can our leaders help us?
The provincial government is building many high schools in the province, it should leave that and focus on assisting students.
Many parents in Western Highlands will be affected because most cannot raise enough money to send their children to school.
How can a subsistence farmer as me raise enough money to send seven children to school?
It is a lot.
This is where our leaders need to step in and assist.
Life is becoming very expensive and school fee is one of the biggest burden parents are facing at the moment.
