there are stacks of volunteer

opportunities for nationals in PNG, there just needs to be a culture of volunteering. They have to understand that volunteering COSTS though. Volunteering is a cost so if you don't believe in the principles, then you find a principle that you do believe in and you PAY for that belief. A donor country is not going to come in and pay for your principles and beliefs. That is something you have to do for yourself. Like Transparency International. It needs a budget to do printing and keep the organisation together. If you believe in the principles of TI, then you pay to get your principles a wider profile. Just like World Vision, Amnesty, WWF, Oxfam, Rotary, Soroptomist, Church. You pay to belong to a wider organisation that supports your beliefs. If you don't want to have beliefs to make your world a better place then why should you expect a donor country to come in and make your world a better place for you? I am paying taxes back in Australia. Why should my taxes go to help you if you are not prepared to have a belief that can make YOUR world better? I do it because MY world is YOUR world. But at some stage you've got to get off your arse and put your own principles on the line.
