"Mormon Helping Hands" blow away dirt at Kelly Elementary School. Other volunteers
raked leaves and painted lines, poles,
and doors. Helpers were mostly from The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS, also known as Mormons).
Neighbors also helped.

Sweeping-2: Cleaning up at Kelly Elementary School in Compton
Papua New Guinea
Opai Village is a small community, one kilometer from Gomlongon Village.
What sets this small settlement apart from the many other
small villages in Papua New Guinea is the ropen.
Papua New Guinea -
Islands of Mystery
. . . several Americans have explored certain areas, including
Umboi Island. What have they been
seeking? Living pterosaurs!
Young Gideon Koro, of Umboi Island, saw, in 1994, a frightening
ropen (pterosaur) flying over Lake Pung (for Americans, a pterosaur)
