PIM Schools
Elementary Schools K-2
PIM conducts K-2 classes in Melanesian to assist primary age children’s adjustments to the English orientated classroom of the community school by training the basics. Highly successful and in great demand, the village schools, with hundreds of students, co-ordinated by experienced supervisory national personnel, focus on knowledge of the Scriptures. They foster God’s law and teach Bible stories along with achieving literacy in Melanesian.

School Supplies Sent to PIM Schools
Thank you
Mekayla, Adriana, Kristi and Gabrielle, five junior high students from Lethbridge, Alberta, raised money to buy school supplies for students in Papua New Guinea in 2008 and 2009. They worked hard at washing windows, collecting recyclables and held a bake sale which made the front page in a local newspaper. With this money they purchased a variety of crayons, pencils, toothbrushes and paste which was taken to PNG by the Mazereeuws. Francesca, teacher at Ambunti, received the supplies in PNG and distributed them to the teachers going into the remote PIM schools.
