Remote village · Papua New Guinea
English translation provided for international visitors.
My name is Francis, I am 25yrs old and I am ex- student,there are two reasons why I didn't complete my education. One of the was no power and was no internet.
I also live in a remote village and its very hard to excess internet and power.
I recall travelling to school is about kilometres but I have to cross two rivers and two hills before reaching the school.
When my phone batteries dies I used to travel another kilometres to the next villiage and catch a bus to charge my phone.
It's hard to buy flakes once we have credit. It runs out quick and we have to spend more money, so the remote lifestyle is hard. That's why I couldn't complete my education. Now I am a villager like many others. Thank you.
