| PAPUA NEW GUINEA DROUGHT |
| THE PNG AND AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE
FORCES WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE PEOPLE OF PNG DURING THE
1997 – 1998 DROUGHT |
| WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP |
 |
| If you are interested in
helping the people of Papua New Guinea during this
difficult time, contact your nearest aid organisation.
For example, in Australia, the Returned Services League
has launched a nation-wide Papua New Guinea Drought
Relief Appeal. People in Australia can contact the
Returned Services League to find out more details. |
| However, please remember
that the PNGDF and ADF aircraft and vehicles are fully
committed to transporting rice, flour and cooking oil and
other vital supplies to those people whom urgently need
them. We do not have spare capacity to distribute
packages and other donations throughout PNG. |
| So while we encourage you
to support the people of PNG in this time of great need,
please think carefully about the best way to help. |
