1 年Thanking CELCOR for my first employment opportunity. It's been 20 years 7 months today since I first walked into CELCORs Office at Boroko Hugo's Building for my first day at work. Introduced the Community Legal Education, a paralegal training program for PNG's rural communities. Over 15,000 people benefited from this community program during my five years tenure. CELCOR gave me lots of international training and engagement opportunities which were put to good use by imparting the new knowledge to rural people. Also reviewed and designed the current logo with Friends of the Earth PNG. Reliving #CELCOR memories.... #tumbunatales
