Operation Door-knock
p. 67 · Read in the full issue
DOOR-KNOCK appeals are some thing new to Papua, and Papuans, but shortly after the president of the Kaugere Progress Association found out from a welfare officer what it was, door-knock was put into operation and £25 collected for the P-NG Red Cross Appeal.
Kaugere is a suburb of Port Moresby, where there are 132 homes tenanted by Papuan public servants.
Eight Papuan collectors between them knocked on every one of the 132 doors on the night of July 11 and came away with an average 3/10 per house, all for a worthy cause.
