Jacob Aindri Wulwaru

At the end of 1995, I started doing Adult Matriculation Courses at Tabubil University Centre and successfully obtained my grade twelve transcript.  I then applied to PNGEI and did my Diploma in Education Primary-In-service and graduated. I did not stop there. I continued to pursue my first degree through UPNG Open College Program through flexible mode. Even though there are sponsorships program available within the Department I was not fortunate enough to be considered despite numerous applications submitted to the screening committee. This did not stop me. 

I was born on 15^th March, 1970 to late Joseph Wulwarau and Rosa Nyapuak Teiwieu in a small hamlet called Analuei situated on the East Coast of Lemieng Catholic Mission in Aitape.

The hamlet is amongst other small hamlets that formed the Wal Tribe. It is located in between the Bismarck Sea front and the mouth of a small spinning river called ‘Wul-le’. That was where I lived and grew up during my childhood days.
