Stanley Mamu, PNG Earthquake victim
Donation protected
Any journalist who has ever worked on a story abroad knows the value of a good "fixer." When I traveled to Papua New Guinea in 2013, to do a story about ExxonMobil's massive liquified natural gas project there, I was fortunate enough to find Stanley Mamu, who was my fixer, translator, guide and, by the end of my trip, friend. He was relentless, kind and invaluable. I could not have done the story without him.
On Feb. 26, a 7.5 earthquake hit Papua New Guineas on Feb. 26, killing 160, injuring many more and destroying countless homes. Among the victims is my friend and colleague Stanley Mamu.
Now, the home in which he lived with his wife and three children has been reduced to rubble. So too has the house of his mother, who lived nearby. He has received no government relief funds, most likely because of his criticism and advocacy regarding the LNG project. He has lost everything and is currently living in a tent with his family. Can you help me get Stanley get back on his feet?
