We feel like many PNG see us as the Great White Hope. Tonight it was Bob--landlord's son. He came to talk to us about investing in his coffee crop. Basically, help him buy license to sell & export green coffee beans to us in USA. He spoke with such enthusiasm...it was difficult to tell him we and no one we knew was in a position to help him. Though you could feel his Hope evaporate ...he was thankful that we'd listened. Bob was the 3rd or 4th who'd come to us with their dream. Then Bob spoke with anger about the Malaysians & Australians who have come to PNG & are making "millions"--right under their noises...while they beg for jobs. Jr recently expressed the same anger. Both said Australians won't even let a PNG enter their offices. We were relieved to hear both say they love Americans & feel well treated by them. What a shame that those who might be able to invest will probably never meet these PNG hopefuls.
