I lived in PNG only a few years of my life but we have lost relatives in our clan to gun violence in PNG. I was born in New Zealand (my Father is Maori) and raised mostly in Australia. So the gun situation in the USA came as quite a shock to me when my husband and I moved to Southern California a few years ago. I commend you for your activism and hope you never give up your campaign. Lukim yu, V. Hi Vavine,

My name is also Vavine and my Mother hails from Hanuabada. I lived in PNG only a few years of my life but we have lost relatives in our clan to gun violence in PNG.

I commend you for your activism and hope you never give up your campaign.

Lukim yu,

It must have been very painful to come this far to leave thru everyday without your mum who is ever around to see you grow up and prosper in the dreams that you may have always dreamed off. It is a great achievement to present your story on this very important Conference Control Arms has organized. We hear daily about gun violence. There is no safe place where one can enjoy life to it's fullest. Where and who do you turn to when you know that murders and killers are still on the road? Who will be the next innocent victim? What is the law doing? With all these questions never answered do we leave every day with the fear of been the next victim? I commend the Gun Control Committee for the initive taken to combat gun violence today. Vavine, you are a very brave and strong individual.
