I must say community radio is a very good concept. A very good medium of communicating educational and informative information and wider reach to rural communities. Brings other local Bougainvilleans overseas closer to home on what is happening. I was introduced to this medium in 2011. Good job and congratulations!

Cheers,

Hi,

I'm Joseph from Solomon Islands studying at Massey University in NZ. I met one of a friend from Bouganville and he introduced to me this website. It is good to visit your website- NewDawn of Bouganville as means to communicate with your people and the wolrd. I hope, Bouganville will rise up in the very near future.

Thanks

Joseph

Thanks, PETER LARRY for your positive comments based on your observations.
Yes we have singlehandedly took on this mammoth task of providing stories from Bougainville right to our networks instead of going through some middlemen in PNG.
and WE ARE PROUD to have done that since 2008 and still carrying on this responsibility.
Many Bougainvilleans have gone through, passed degrees etc and used our workj as their point of reference... and we are proud to have provided for those people.
Thanks agains and Merry Christmas.
Aloysius Laukai

This is very informative indeed...though the national government is not doing enough to educate and disseminate information to the people of Bougainville in terms of what is captured in the Bougainville Peace Agreement and the Autonomy and Referendum, New Dawn has come out strong in that spectre and i think you Mr Laukai have done a great job for you and the people of Bougainville interms of information dissemination and educating the masses.....Keep it up New Dawn...Merry Christmas and Looking forward for a Better New year 2014.

regards, Peter Larry, PNGFM News, POM

[Bugger Off]

AL,
Would you mind creating a separate blog site for New Dawn Site? Otherwise take the comments part out altogether.

Too much propaganda and shameless self promotion is taking the shine out of this resourceful news website. Its frustratingly annoying, absolutely pathetic and hopelessly exasperating to say the least. Not to mention, some comments there, are irresponsible, defamatory in some cases, and most of all, they do nothing to improve the image Bougainville and its good people.

We want to enjoy reading first hand news from the ground without being bothered by stupid sideline comments from shameless opportunistic idiots, who want nothing but self-indulge in negativity.

[George Ringin]

Hey Folks, Congratulations to the team at New Dawn..In this modern world Communication is a vital tool for getting people together..This is a great initiative..well done.

Hi Aloysius,

Congratulations on putting up the New dawn on Bougainville. I found it very interesting to read the various comments from everyone both in PNG and overseas.

Could you start a blog discussion on the forthcomming ABG referandum next year. I am interested to know what the board and staff, including the public's view on what they think of the issue of autonomy, what it's being like as the first province to be given an autonomy status by the national government, does being autonomous for over fourteen years mean something to the people?

Do the prople themselves want to remain in an autonomous state or become independent from PNG when there are still many unresolved problems amongst the bougainville people themselves? The law & order situation is still bad and criminals do not respect the police and their own people making it very difficult for the ABG government to effectively govern.

Thank you.

[paul ward]

this is fantastic news to have a radio station, freedom of speech, a local voice, information for unity. Stap wan bel !
Do you have 'pod-casts'? I live in South Korea but used to live at Koromira so I want to keep informed about the new life of Bougainville,
thanks, Paul

My name is James (Jimmy) Starkey, I served over there in Bougainville with the PMG in 2000 and 2001. I was based at Loloho, I am writing to get back in contact with my old wantoks from Awara and Rorovana.

If someone can help me that would be great, I would like to get back in contact with Mathew Iasau from Rorovana and some others from Kieta.

My email address is [email protected] if there are any other Bougainvilleans that live Australia now I would like to hear from you too.

Bai gudpela tru sapos mi toktok wantiam olgeta prend bilong mi.
