On the way to Mt. Giluwe

I was not thinking of tourism when building my house. I needed a space to live after retirement. I built my house without knowing that this place will have more space to accommodate visitors. Now my intentions for the house have changed into tourism business and the Piambil Faith Missionary Home is a home away from home for visitors. – Rev Wane Ninjipa

ONE of the oldest serving missionaries of the PNG Bible Church, Rev Wane Ninjipa has turned his newly built retirement home into a comfortable haven for visitors into Piambil Village in Southern Highlands.

The village is located near the foothills of Mt Giluwe, the second highest peak in the Pacific after Mt Whilem and located in Imbonggu District.

Rev Ninjipa’s idea was to renovate and do extensions on his old house and he started gathering materials since 2013. However, he changed his mind one morning after looking down to the swampy area at the edge of his garden.
