Akera Akalanana
Board Member
As a member of of PNGINUSA, my proudest moment was raising money to purchase a TB testing machine and then driving the machine all the way from Ohio to Colorado so it could be shipped to Woitape in the Central Province. It is my hope as being part of this organization we will continue to improve Papua New Guinea in ways that will benefit her citizens for generations to come.
