It's not much fun having a tropical ear infection, as this little girl (right) from Kikori in the Gulf District of Papua, is quite aware. She's receiving attention from medical assistant Cpl. Lomus Manna of the Pacific Islands Regiment, during a "civic action patrol" in the area. The soldiers helped out in a number of ways in Kikori and Ihu and won many friends—not the least of them being eight year-old Nomi, above, being treated at the Kikori Hospital, by army medical assistant Sgt. Sam Pasen.
