In the meantime, anyone who reads this blog will know of the situation in Fiji, with so many people left homeless after the terrible hurricanes. I have made contact with a lady in Sydney, who is collecting goods of all kinds to ship to Fiji. I sent a 3 kg Post satchel of teeshirts, books, pencils and pens to her, which she said will be very useful to someone. Try to imagine it - everything has been blown away....<br />
I asked if she would be able to get quilts shipped over there, and she said she will try to find a way of getting quilts over there if I want to get them to her. So, if anyone reading this is interested in doing a quilt or two (not full size of course - too expensive and bulky to post), but childrens ones as before, leave a comment here or email me direct.<br />
<br />
<i><u>Update a week later</u></i>. After emailing Yaso, she replied almost immediately, to tell me she has taken half of the quilts on hand to PNG and will take the rest on her next trip there around June or July. She is happy for me to continue organising quilts for Fiji, as she works around the world's hot spots and fully understands the need for things like quilts in places where the people don't have much to call their own, through different circumstances. She also told me about the plan the native women have for our quilts to raise money for their community school and hospital, so when I have all the details about that, I will post them here.<br />
<br />
Just curious - is anybody still reading this blog? Please leave a comment if you are, I would like to know if it is worthwhile keeping it going.<br />

I haven't had any contact from Yaso for over a year now, and I have no idea if she ever got the last lot of quilts shipped to PNG. Just as well I stopped any further donations back then!<br />
<br />
Partly my fault that I haven't heard anything, as Yaso is extremely busy with her work and is more often out of Australia than in it! I could have emailed her or phoned and leave a message with her husband, but my own life has been a bit chaotic with my husband's health deteriorating, so my time has also been limited. <br />
<br />
I will post an update here as soon as I find out what is happening.Gina E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624533195468798491.post-83835497227619795062015-07-01T00:30:00.000+10:002015-04-13T22:28:06.497+10:00Introduction.<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> <w:UseFELayout/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><br />

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Background information to The Patea Kukuku Tribe of Papua New Guinea, working with Dr Yaso Nadarajah (research fellow) at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>The Patea (Kukukuku) are a tribal community of over 90,000 residing in the highlands of Papua New Guinea (PNG), Melanesia’s largest and most populous island. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Patea’s customary land covers some of the most rugged and beautiful mountains and valleys of the PNG highlands. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However its isolation and the lack of serviceable roads mean that most Patea villages are beyond the reach of basic government services and there is little external trade. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meanwhile, the livelihoods of many Patea families are increasingly coming under threat from the destructive environmental practices of mining and forestry companies encroaching on their land. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While members of the Patea tribal community have expressed an interest in development and ‘opening themselves up’ to the outside world, there is an acknowledgement that this needs to happen in a way that the community has some control over<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To that end, the ‘<b>Patea Eco-Enterprise Project’</b>was established in 2009 as a community development project built on a partnership between the Patea tribal community and Senior Research Fellow Yaso Nadarajah at the Globalism Research Centre, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The project was established as a long-term partnership; <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>its aim is to help the Patea people find ways of taking control of their own development and livelihoods <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">in their own terms and at their own pace</i>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are several aspects to this task. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through a series of small funds and partnerships the Patea have been able to come together and explore community-based solutions to the lack of employment, food insecurity and other problems in their villages. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have established a number of creative ‘pilot projects’ including a collective pig-raising project, a sustainable farming and nutrition initiative, and a women’s co-operative which encourages women to become traders. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These pilot projects have been established in different villages around the Patea’s <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>customary territory, and will hopefully flourish and expand over time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Meanwhile the project has a broader aim. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At its outset, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Patea <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chiefs and Elders articulated that much of their culture had become lost or distorted through a long history of negative/corrosive outside interference. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>They recognised that they must find new ways of nurturing, recovering and expressing their culture in order to gain the confidence and community strength to negotiate a new place in an ever-changing world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As part of this process, the Patea have established a theatre group. Their first performance piece, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>entitled “Tears of the Rainforest”, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>powerfully asserts the Patea’s ancestry, heritage and relationship with the environment. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In September 2013, “Tears of the Rainforest” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>will be performed at the regional <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lae Cultural Festival.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For many of those involved, this will be the first time they have travelled outside of their homeland.</div>

And now the generous support of the Quilt Collective has been initiated by Gina Wilson from Eltham, in Victoria, Australia. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yaso shared the project and the lives of the tribal community with Gina at dinner one day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This conversation has led to this amazing Quilt Collective and generous gifts of handmade quilts as Gina connected through her networks and friends. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first two quilts were given by Gina, and Yaso took them to the remotest part of the Patea community village. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Elders and Yaso talked about who would need these quilts most – especially in the cold mountains and with so little means to buy clothes and warm coverings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Elders and Yaso decided that the young babies, the ones most vulnerable would benefit so much from these lovingly crafted quilts. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span> As Yaso presented these quilts on behalf of Gina Wilson, the mothers cried and the babies looked up with great joy as they were wrapped in these wonderful quilts, made with so much love.<br />
<br />
These quilts, as we gather them and take them to Patea <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Land and to the Patea <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>babies, represent a thread of great exchange and humanity – of that between all of you amazing women who make these quilts and these little babies who will grow up, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>being wrapped in the warmth and care of the quilts handmade and sent from many parts of the world. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best part is that they are new, handmade and with the names of the person who has made it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will also try very hard to make sure that we are able to give the names of the babies who have inherited these quilts. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will remain in the family for as long as they hold together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This Quilt Collective already<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>represent so much of that which this <b>Patea Eco-Enterprise project</b> seeks to engender – one of universal <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>humanism, and one<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of reciprocal exchange between someone so different from you – in care and respect and genuine effort.</div>

I asked donors not to send any more quilts last year, as I had so many, and nowhere to store them. We finally delivered them to Yaso about six weeks ago, and she is organising for them to be shipped to PNG. This is not an easy operation for many reasons, that I won't go into here, but I can assure the readers of this blog that the PNG project is getting bigger all the time. Our quilts are just a small part of a global project, of which PNG is one country of several to be involved. Yaso and the PNG Elders want to take the quilt collective down a different path, i.e. instead of continuing to distribute quilts ad hoc, they are thinking of selling them for a very small amount (these people are self supporting) to their people, and using the money raised to build Childrens Centres in the villages. <br />
<br />
I attended a meeting today of the Probus Club of Warrandyte, where Yaso and I were the guest speakers. My presentation was only about 10 minutes, during which time I spoke about my work in making quilts for various causes, and how I came to start the Quilt Collective with Yaso. Yaso spoke for over an hour on her work in PNG, showing a short film about the natives and what they are achieving in the face of mining companies destruction of their land. The audience was very interested, and Yaso was pleased with their positive response, as a number of people came up to her later and offered support in various ways.<br />
<br />
I will ask Yaso to write something for this blog so the readers can understand more of what is happening. Once the current batch of quilts are in PNG and have been distributed, I will post a notice here to let our donors know that they can continue to make baby quilts for us!<br />

Thank you very much, Margaret - they will be greatly appreciated, and hopefully you will see a photo of them wrapped around a little person in due course, when Yaso has delivered the next lot of quilts and taken more photos :-)<br />

They had carried it up previously when
we brought it up to the second last village. I distributed
them and have some photos and also took a small video clip. A very
sad story in the midst of all this joy was that one of the small babies (6
months) who was on the list to receive a quilt died that night ( I am not
sure, but I think it might have been pneumonia) . It was so tragic
that next morning her father was there and
he told me. I handed him a quilt (one of the smaller fleece
blankets you had made as extras) so he could wrap the
child and place her in the grave. They can't afford coffins. </span></i></div>

to transport them. One of the feedback from this project is
that we are working with the tribal community as partners - not as charity or
aid recipients So we have been thinking of some ideas in which we
can work with your Quilt Collective - so that it becomes an enterprise. There
were a couple of suggestions of (a) making them
and also teaching them (via handouts and video) so that
they can sell and develop skills and a livelihood (b) create a
partnership so they can share the making and we think of selling
these quilts internationally with special logos etc. </span></i></div>

I have a huge stash of fabric to use just for baby quilts, but as always, finding the time to make them is the most difficult part. This one is made using cotton sheets from an opshop, cut into strips which are sewn together then recut to form four patch blocks. I've used some nice thick wadding found in an opshop, to fill it, and brushed cotton for the back.<br />

She sent four quilts made from blocks that she found in her grandmother's belongings after she passed away. Kelli says she saved every scrap and is happy that they have found a good use. I have also photographed the postage label showing how much it cost Kelli to post these four quilts to me - how generous to spend that amount of money to post these four quilts! Thank you very much Kelli - I know Yaso will greatly appreciate your kindness.<br />

Above are photos of each individual quilt that Margaret in Mount Eliza (Vic) and one of her friends have been busy making for our PNG babies.<br />
She and her hubby very kindly brought them here, as they were en route to Healesville, not quite on the way, so it was very good of them to come here first. Here is a photo of the bags they brought into the kitchen, to give you some idea of the number of quilts. Many heartfelt thanks to Margaret and her friend for such a generous donation of time and materials!<br />

Two quilts.One of the quilt donors last year was a lady who lives in country Victoria, and comes to Melbourne to visit her daughter who lives not far from me. I received an email from Jane a few weeks ago telling me she had make some more quilts, and today we met up and she gave them to me. Thanks again Jane - these are lovely. I'm just sorry my photo doesn't do them justice, but the PNG babies will love them :-)<br />

Post satchel arrived today. I've been out and about today and haven't even opened this one. I have just had a look at the sender's name (at 11.45 pm) and it is from Lorraine Squires and her ladies in NSW - the same group who sent the 12 that arrived yesterday!<br />
Looks like some serious photography sessions coming up this weekend...thanks girls!<br />
<br />
Edited 6th May to include photos of 8 bunny rugs and quilts in the second parcel from Lorraine and her generous friends.<br />

I took some photos but they didn't turn out well enough to post here, so I will try again later this week. In the meantime, many thanks to Lorraine and her quilting friends - this is their second lot of donations! They are very kind.<br />
<br />
Edited a week later to include photos of the 12. Only two or three are quilted, the rest are bunny rugs, which are just as acceptable to the PNG mothers, as they are perfect for the newborns.<br />

Three quilts finished today.My friend Cheryl in Hurstbridge, Vic. made these three colourful quilts last year, but couldn't finish them because her sewing machine broke down. All I had to do was quilt and bind them, and I finally finished them today! Thanks for doing the first and most important bits, Cheryl!<br />

Before she left, she said she was going to try to photograph each baby with its mother and the quilt they received. This explains why that did not happen, and I know all our quilt donors will understand!<br />

<b><i>Gina, it was not possible to photograph each person with the
quilt. Sorry. So many people came and then the Elders called out to those who
were going to receive the quilts. And I had thought that I could
photograph each person, but it was raining. And so many people around, more
than 500 - and then everyone wanting to talk to me and so forth. It took me so
much effort to get everyone back together to get the group photo. </i></b></div>

<b><i>Another 30 quilts - still in another village and they took
it up by walking. But I could not get there as the bridge was swept away by
landslide and rain. It would have meant walking for 15 hours. So will do
so next visit. The quilts will wait there until I get there. Hopefully, I will
be able to photograph each one.</i></b></div>

She has emailed me these photos, and a brief explanation, but I don't know if there will be any more to come.<br />
Some of you might be able to recognise your quilts if you enlarge the photos.<br />

the quilts are on-board the ship and on their way to PNG. Brilliant. <br />
<br />
I will collect them on the 9th January 2014 - when I get there and take them up to the villagers.<br />

Yaso and her husband came to our place last night and collected them all. I'd packed them up into bags, and they just fitted into the back seat of their car. Yaso now has to organise for them all to be transported to Brisbane by next Wednesday, when they will be put into a container along with other goods, and shipped to PNG. She was very fortunate to have contact with a businessman who is willing to include the quilts in his container of commercial products, free of charge.<br />
<br />
When she arrives there on January 9th, Yaso will collect the quilts from her agent and take them up into the hills to be distributed among the native tribes. The natives know about this and are looking forward to seeing our quilts, and Yaso will have one of her students with her to record the giving of each quilt to a mother and baby. She will pass these photos on to me, and I'll be able to publish them on this blog, so everyone can see who has received the quilt/s they have so kindly made.<br />
<br />
I already have another four quilts still to be finished off, and more donations are in the pipeline. Yaso will be going to PNG again later next year, and will be able to take the next batch of quilts then.Gina E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624533195468798491.post-66264540983242896172013-12-14T18:00:00.001+11:002013-12-14T18:02:38.149+11:00December 13.

One quilt from Missouri USA.This was a surprise, as I don't recall having an email from this lady before, so maybe she got my details from a friend. Bonnie Harris in Missouri, USA sent this beautiful cot quilt.<br />

Something that makes a donation from the USA even more special is the cost of shipping - in this case it was $18.60, which is a lot of money to post one quilt across the world for donation to a third world country. Thank you very much, Bonnie - your quilt will be greatly appreciated.Gina E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624533195468798491.post-52390196274304287062013-11-04T00:52:00.002+11:002013-11-04T00:52:40.187+11:00Another quilt from Gina.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8BrDbWyCXEiZdMaZWPidAXBDaNzWuTUPWTvhp7S_71qRiFpXbb_F4d3ifWaV8PoUzerXyCQiSiyMkxHJHTM1C4VuCRPqT3e7uUI6sMZOdA9fkQJTKg-4lIIToTZJTguB1w7jLpxRxoG0-/s1600/PNG+quilt+by+Gina+Nov+13+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8BrDbWyCXEiZdMaZWPidAXBDaNzWuTUPWTvhp7S_71qRiFpXbb_F4d3ifWaV8PoUzerXyCQiSiyMkxHJHTM1C4VuCRPqT3e7uUI6sMZOdA9fkQJTKg-4lIIToTZJTguB1w7jLpxRxoG0-/s320/PNG+quilt+by+Gina+Nov+13+001.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_OnmTbrjY4H_rFLuQTpHFyeG0JVW5XDK_xXER3p1VDmdmpX4H0xevTyJivoqyNZLiMIwXwu8HLcKkvj-CL_hx0PfamYVBW8eshM9yqs__kEIHz7byY2B7vQKJnKAQR6URCpSw1JDaGHAC/s1600/PNG+quilt+by+Gina+Nov+13+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_OnmTbrjY4H_rFLuQTpHFyeG0JVW5XDK_xXER3p1VDmdmpX4H0xevTyJivoqyNZLiMIwXwu8HLcKkvj-CL_hx0PfamYVBW8eshM9yqs__kEIHz7byY2B7vQKJnKAQR6URCpSw1JDaGHAC/s320/PNG+quilt+by+Gina+Nov+13+002.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I've had this sitting around for a month, waiting to be finished, and today was The Day. Now that I've got this one done, I'll start on some more. I've had so much fabric donated to me, I want to put it to good use now that I've got a new machine which is much faster than my old one. No excuse to dilly dally now!Gina E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.com0
