Kessie Sabuima - a lifetime of service and faith

Thu, 16 Jun 2016 06:27:37 GMT

2 Cor 5:8 .. .. away from the body and at home with the Lord.

At CBM we are saddened by the death of our colleague Kessie Sabuima.
Kessie has worked with Christian Books Melanesia Inc for 33 years. He began work as a young man in 1983 working in the Mt Hagen Christian Bookshop. He worked with Gordon Cowell and Myra Parker who became close friends. They along with many missionaries who got to know and appreciate Kessie are shocked to hear of his passing.
In 1988 he went to GLO Bible College in Smithton Tasmania.
Later he went to work in CBM Head office in Wewak but he finished his service managing the Christian Bookshop at Alotau.
He leaves behind Eileen and his 3 boys who will miss him dearly. Through the years he has made many friends who loved and respected him and who will miss his cheering smile.
Kessie died suddenly the result of a stoke on Sunday afternoon at Alotau.
Our hearts reach out to Kessie's family at this time.
PRAY FOR KESSIE'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS AT THE HAUS KRAI IN ALOTAU.

BILUM BOOKS - Literacy is Key

New Textbooks for PNG!

Bilum Books in Kiunga!

On Thursday 21 April 2016, new schoolbooks will be launched in Kiunga. Why Kiunga?

“We’re launching in Kiunga to show we are serious about reaching out to teachers and students in remote and rural areas, not just in the big cities and towns,” according to Ray O’Farrell, Publisher at Bilum Books. The launch is being organized by Cross-Country School of Excellence and Western Education Books & Stationery (WEBS) based in Kiunga.

Bilum Books is a new business. Its mission is to help raise the standards of literacy in PNG. Literacy levels in PNG are 57%, the lowest in the Pacific. There are many reasons why: the ruggedness of PNG, a developing economy, a huge population and its widespread distribution over the Highlands, lowlands and islands. These are just some of the factors that make it difficult to deliver high quality services in education.
But PNG can do better than 57%. We know schoolchildren in PNG are just as smart as children anywhere. Why can’t they be taught to read well and write well? Ray O’Farrell believes they can “If we give teachers the right training and the right tools”. He believes that Bilum Books are the tools that teachers need to teach literacy and to help students reach a new standard.

Bilum Books’ mission is to support the Standards-Based Curriculum, to produce good books, to train teachers and help them implement the new curriculum. “We want students reach the new standards being set by the Department of Education.” 25 new books will be launched on Thursday. They have been over two years in development. Consultation has taken place at every step, with curriculum officers in Port Moresby and practicing classroom teachers around the country - and PNG artists have drawn the illustrations.

The launch in Kiunga will also be accompanied by two days of free workshops for teachers in the Kiunga area.
