Papua New Guinea Internship

During the course of the summer, interns generally split their time between 2-3 remote villages.  This internship offers the opportunity to learn a new language (Melanesian Pidgin), acclimate to and thrive in a South Pacific context, as well as participate in and observe translation, literacy and Scripture Impact.  Language learning is a very social experience on this internship, as it takes place during regular day activities, such as hiking, hunting, fishing, working in the nationals’ gardens, washing clothes or cooking.

Focus

Bible translation, literacy, village living, support work, working amongst individuals from animistic backgrounds, training nationals, survey
