This issue focuses on Papua New Guinea, the site of Palms' longest lasting partnerships, and "second home" to many Palms volunteers. Stories from the field are accompanied by background information on the country, volunteer positions vacant and some information on Palms' Fairtrade coffee.
There are also continuing series such as Director's Report and a profile of two more valuable contributers to Palms' work; a reflection on the aid "industry" and a farewell to Fr Cyril Hally a long time supporter of Palms.
