We are now selling these traditional West Papuan bilum bags, with all contributes going towards the Free West Papua Campaign.
These bags were made by Dolly Karoba (pictured here), an elder from the highlands of West Papua.
A refugee from Indonesian brutality in West Papua when she was young , Dolly walked all the way from Wamena in the highlands of West Papua to Vanimo across the Papua New Guinea border.
The journey with 3 young children, took over a year.
After traumatic experiences as a refugee, she was forced to leave New Guinea and seek asylum in the Netherlands where she now lives.
Mrs. Karoba wants to contribute to her people#s struggle for freedom so she now makes these traditional Papuan bilum bags to sell so that profits will be raised for the Free West Papua Campaign.
We will be selling these bilums, as well as many other West Papuan merchandise including flags etc at the Cowley Road Carnival in Oxford, UK tomorrow to help to raise funds and awareness for a Free West Papua.
