The company that I used to work for in Fiji, Fiji Communications Ltd, owns Yumi FM till today.
I had the opportunity of covering the Aitape Tsunami in 1998.
I was there for 3 months covering the Tsunami, not only for PNG and Fiji but also for the South Pacific.
I was only 18 years old at the time.
When it was time for me to go back home to Fiji, I had fallen sick with Malaria.
In Fiji we do not have Malaria and there is no treatment or medication for it.
So, this meant staying back in PNG to complete my dose.
