PNG Independence Day


The students and staff at UIS dressed out in PNG colors and costumes for the 40th anniversary of the independence of Papua New Guinea, which became a sovereign nation on September 16th, 1975. We met at the flag pole and sang the national anthem together, PNG nationals and expats alike, all celebrating freedom and God’s abundant provision for this nation. My favorite verse:

“Now give thanks to the good Lord above, for His kindness, His wisdom and love. For this land of our fathers so free, Papua New Guinea.”
