Description

A national statistics office team are travelling through the area filling in a form for each household that asks for names, relationships, ages and nationalities. They have printed A3 satellite maps of the area (Kokoma's is covered in cloud, Evesil's and Tolookum's only show jungle) and are supposed to enquire at every structure. The people staying in that structure at the time of the count are included in the head count.

(who's doing this the government? the government, the national statistics office are getting the population of png. inside png's towns, plantations they are getting the number. the png people won't be small or hidden and they won't work they will get their names. if it's a big number of people they will put that and small number they will put that. 10 years ago they got the number. there were 13 million people then, today it'll be 15 or 16 million. the people with training will go get the number, on aug 15 it'll be done. it's work in the whole country, i won't do it we'll just wait for aug 15.
they are just getting the names, not education?
that's a different work i didn't talk about. they'll get that another time, next year. they'll ask about coffee, vanilla and such, that's for the leaders. now is head count.)
