Thank you, Prasanna Pathirana and Australian Volunteers Program, for yet another amazing opportunity! The past three months with us at Solar Solutions PNG have been invaluable. Our team, especially the Technical Team, has benefited immensely from your mentorship in renewable energy and solar technology. We were privileged to have you here in person, embracing our way of life, culture, and traditions, and connecting so well with each of us. You will be greatly missed, and we hope to see you again soon. Thank you!

This Friday marked the completion of the in-country segment of my assignment as an Australian Volunteer with Solar Solutions PNG Ltd. Over the past months, I had the privilege of working alongside an incredibly talented, motivated, and dynamic team. The collective enthusiasm and dedication of my colleagues has been truly inspiring, and it has been an honour to support them in expanding their expertise and strengthening the organization’s strategies, policies, and procedures. On a personal level, this experience has been equally rewarding. Traveling throughout Papua New Guinea has allowed me to witness the country’s vibrant culture, savour its unique cuisine, and learn Tok Pisin, all of which have deepened my appreciation for this extraordinary place. Along the way, I’ve met remarkable people and formed friendships that I will carry with me for a lifetime. I leave with an abundance of memories that I will cherish forever. Reflecting on this journey, I can confidently say it has been one of the most fulfilling and transformative experiences of my life. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such impactful work, and I look forward to staying connected with the team and the mission of Solar Solutions PNG in the future.
