About Port Moresby Kiwi Club

By JULIE HARTSHORN - President

The Port Moresby Kiwi Club has been operating in Port Moresby for over 25 years.

The Kiwi Club’s main objective is to promote the culture, lifestyle and country of New Zealand in Papua New Guinea and to facilitate the social and charitable contribution of New Zealander’s to PNG.

It is also a means for New Zealander’s living in PNG to come together to enjoy various social occasions, a few of which are as follows:

·        The annual Waitangi day Hangi at the NZHC grounds. This year it will be held on the 7^th February.

·        Rugby events for the Bledisloe Cup/Tri Nations and World Cup games.

·        Trivia nights

·        The bi-annual Kiwi Club Ball which is acknowledged as one of the highlights of the social season. The 2010 ball will be held on Oct 23.

The above events, other than being fun, are also fund raising events for various charities in PNG. The main charities to which the Kiwi Club has contributed funds include:

·       Cheshire Homes.

·        Professional Business Women – sponsorship of a woman’s education.

·        Friends Foundation.

·        Hope Worldwide.

·        City Mission.

The Kiwi Club has been fortunate in having a strong volunteer committee, a number of whom have been involved for over fifteen years.

New members and committee members are always welcome.
