About Me

My photo
Leonard Fong Roka
Panguna, Bougainville, Papua New Guinea
I come from the Tumpusiong Valley that is welknown as the Jaba Tailings area of the Panguna district in Bougainville. I was born the first son of a family of five children in 1979 at Arawa from a mixed West New Britain and Bougainville parentage. In 1986 I began my schooling at Piruana VTPS but my education was disturbed by the Bougainville Crisis in 1990 as I was doing Gr 4. As the Peace Process came in, I resumed schooling from 1995 and ended up at UPNG in 2003 but then left from my year 2 in 2004. From 2004 to 2010 I was grounded at home taking up part-time jobs with firstly, the NRI, the Electral Commission of PNG and the Ioro Roadworks from 2007 to 2010. And this year 2011, my spirit decided to be educated so here I am at Divine Word University.
