Wewak is on the northern coast of PNG. The town is remote, and it's
difficult to get to our transmitter up on Mt. Passam Towa (the second
highest mountain in PNG's Sepik Province). Because Laif FM doesn't have
a 4 wheel drive vehicle, the radio equipment has to be carried up the mountain to the transmitter.
There
are few resources necessary for radio available locally. Travel, and
shipping, and phone calls are very expensive and don't always work when
you need them.
So it will take prayer
and it will take money
It will cost about USD 2,000.00 (NZD 2,600.00)
for parts
and shipping to Wewak. But if Tony can't fix it with the new parts, we'll need to send our technician from New Zealand and that will cost an extra USD 2,600.00 (NZD 3,400.00)
for travel plus local expenses.
