2. Message from Kiyoshi HARAGUCHI, Course Leader
Mr. Walter from Papua New Guinea came to Japan for 2months training course ofWaste Management Technique (A) in July 2013. He was the one among 10participants from the pacific island countries Such as Fiji, Micronesia, Solomon
Islands. Since he had worked as an waste management officer in Port Moresby, thecapital city of Papua New Guinea, it seems to be very useful for his current workthat he could learn advanced technology and policy from the training in Japan.
In Port Moresby, collecting of household waste has been done by consigned companies ortemporary-contract traders. But the actual condition is quite far from citizen`s demand for theappropriate collection, transportation and final disposal. Furthermore, because there is no regulation
nor monitoring for landfill site, waste does not treated appropriately so that it seems to be concerned
about deterioration of surrounding environment. In order to solve this problem, he presented titled“improvement of landfill site” as his action plan which carries out after return.
As he mentioned on his recent activities, semi-aerobic landfill method(Fukuoka method) is thetechnology formulated by professor Hanashima of Fukuoka University. This technology is very simple
and reasonable to install but has advantage of fast stabilization in landfill site.
Besides, Professor Matsufuji who is pupil of professor Hanashima introduced a technology on
degassing pipe and leachate pipe which is indispensable in landfill, utilizing wasted drum pipe, old tireand bamboo. And this method was highly regarded by participants that they could challenge bythemselves.
As far as we can see from his photo, it has been completed an excellent landfill site. I think thetraining in Japan will be very useful for its maintenance and daily operation. When I receive thereport from the trainee who plays on active role in their country applying the result of the training inJapan like this time, I am deeply impressed that all the effort of the lecturer in charge of lecture andfield training and contribution of accepting organizations are rewarded.
I could guess the other trainees also participate actively in their country even though they did not sendreport yet.
I hope Mr. Walter would share widely on his training experience in Japan with colleagues and hiscontinuous work would be connected to contribute the environmental improvement in his country.
I want to send cheers for him to achieve the goal and look forward to seeing him again someday inJapan.

Update of Latest Activities in my Country2

1ST Report( Update of Latest Activities in my Country )【Reported Date】
July 07, 2015
【Summary 】
After attending the training in Kyushu back in 2013, I have more or less actively
participated in upgrading our Dumpsite (Baruni) into a semi aerobic sanitary(FUKUOKA METHOD) Landfill.
The Landfill now has been commission and is due to go into operations by the 28th July,
2015. It was an enhancing trip for me and I have somewhat trip to adapt the knowledge
gained to put to use in our local scenario.
I would like to take this time to thank JICA, KITA and lastly and not the least thepeople of JAPAN for making this possible for me.
Regards,

January 20, 2016
【Summary 】
As stated in my last update, we have commissioned our cell one however, that has notcommenced operations due to leveling problems. That has now been rectified and wehave placed rock covering and extended our vent pipes.
Due to our new schedule, we intend to use our cell applying the Fukuoka operational
technique by next month.
This is due to the fact that we are now working on installing the trickling filter and also
put in some ECO FAN ate the pond to aerate the leachate.
All in all, delays due to schedule variations by our engineer and Contractor we are yet to
set the exact date to commence operations.
Despite that, we are progressing well with the upgrade and intend to complete phase one (cell 1) thisyear
Once again, Sincere thank you to JICA, KITA and the people of Japan for sharing these vital
information in Managing Solid Waste by way of the FUKUOKA Landfilling method.
Cheers4
