Mama Salomina Arompauw (57) is originally from Biak. She has 4 children. To help his husband, who is a farmer as well fisherman, she moved to Jayapura all by herself a year ago to make extra income. She decided to sell hot coffee and tea with noodles in the Pasar MamaMama.
For market women from Papua it is not easy to sell products in modern Jayapura. The competition is fierce, especially since non-Papuans sell the same merchandise at a better place on the market.
The village Arso IX lies near the border with Papua New Guinea and is populated by transmigrants from all parts of Indonesia.
Hapin will help to maintain the HBS SMAGabungan in Jayapura. 80 percent of all students on that school are Papuans. Unfortunately, the state of the building and the quality of education has been neglected for quite some time.
Early March the Kemiri river overflowed. The surrounding villages weren't prepared for a flasflood and certainly couldn't oversee the disastrous consequences.
