 We are in the process of purchasing a vehicle for our operations in Wewak and here is what you need to know: 1. Wewak is isolated from the rest of the country by road so all vehicles in the area arrived by ship. 2. The roads in Papua New Guinea are usually rough and vehicles are often poorly maintained. 3. We need a van for several reasons; one of them being that many of our supporters are planning on a short term mission trips to Wewak and we need something to transport them.
The van is nice; has air conditioning; the price is good considering the high import fees in PNG; we know the current owners; and it is in the part of PNG that has the best roads. Sold!!! Now all we have to do is raise the money.
How you can help: The total cost of the van and shipping to Wewak is $18,000. If you want to give towards this vehicle you can send a check to Samaritan with “van” in the memo or click here to give online: http://www.samaritanaviation.com/index.php/Give.html and write "van" in the comment section. This is a perfect project for your school, church group, business, or family.
Here is what we’ll do: Whoever gives the largest sum towards the van gets naming rights…make it interesting! If your group decides to underwrite this project we will come do a presentation on Samaritan and thank you in person.
