Occupation: Village Liaison Officer
Meet Junior Itamari. Junior began his journey in the church, where spent 7 years studying to become a priest. However, Junior found his true passion in helping the community, leaving the seminary and becoming a Village Liaison Officer.
Junior wanted to work with BCL because he wanted to act as a bridge between BCL and the landowners. He tells us, his job is interesting because we must work for the common good, and build a good future for the whole of Bougainville. The Panguna Mine will eventually benefit the whole region, it is a devil, but is the devil we own.
“I love meeting new people and maintaining good relationships with people, making jokes and laughing.”
