<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:16.0pt;color:black">Francesca and I are hosting a couple of visitors from the place where we work in the PNG Highlands --- John Onga and his wife Wapi --- who have been hosting us for years there. For
the past four months, following a dry spell, they’ve had unusually rainy weather, which has spoiled a lot of their gardens and led a food shortage. Wapi has brought a lot of beautiful, locally made bilums (string bags) hoping to sell them in order to raise
money to buy food. For a photo of some of them see </span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;color:black"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Boi9VIxBmnnVemvmsNOT41Qf2WKeqJVEL4mFL00/">https://www.instagram.com/p/Boi9VIxBmnnVemvmsNOT41Qf2WKeqJVEL4mFL00/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
