I'm really proud of this calendar, which will (hopefully) be a major fundraiser for Marianville. It's a collection of my photos from our Cultural Show last year. Each month has a big colour picture on top, and a relating smaller picture below, with information written by the girls about that particular province. It's got 12 months + a 2006 and a 2007 year-to-page, so that's 14 big pictures that show girls in traditional bilas from most of PNG's 19 provinces.



They are so thrilled to see themselves and each other in print like this, and even more excited to think that these calendars will be sold through some of the shops and hotels in town. They're famous!!!

At K20 a calendar I hope to make a solid chunk of money for the school - and I have to admit to being more than a little excited at seeing my work in print too! I'm very proud because the whole thing has been my baby - the idea, selling it to Sister, the photos, the designing, the getting it printed (which was one problem after another) and now trying to get it distributed around town - something I can physically see and say I achieved while I was here.

Yep, Mrs Pilon was right when she said I looked 5cm taller the afternoon they arrived!
