Knowledge Adventure Club

Adventure of a life time start here!

Who are we?
The club was started by a group of PNG citizens with the same ambition “generously promote knowledge through reading'.

The team planned to visit remote site s in PNG targeting the unfortunate communities that miss out on the basic government services.
 
Whilst exploring our blessed homeland we decided not to only receive the experience but to give back to the community we visit. We aim to guide tomorrow’s generation to learn the importance of knowledge through reading.

Mission Statement:
• Our Short term goal is to start building-up one library a time throughout PNG.
• Our long term goal is to build-up a network of libraries and to develop the first pouching library system through the network of libraries in PNG.
• We aim to also promote sister Clubs in the resource sector and any other sectors within in PNG with the same goal and vision governed by the club constitution.
