Interiors, Life in PNG

So you've seen the outsides of the buildings on the ITF campus. Here's an "insiders look" at life here in PNG.

This is a P.M.V. (Public Motor Vehicle). It's the preferred method of public transportation.

This is the inside of a one of their houses. The house is seen as a place for storage, sleeping, and cooking. Actually, they usually have a separate "cook house." But contrary to our culture, they don't see the house as an "escape." And as you can see, they have very little in the area of worldly possessions. We so often take for granted how much we have.

All the socializing goes on outside of the house. The front poarch is a good place to catch up with friends.

Starting a fire to cook kau-kau (cow-cow...or sweet potato).

Here's the inside of our sleeping cabins. Simple living, and yet, luxury compared to what these people live in.

Here's a look at our bucket showers. Lots of fun.
