Lorie and I found out recently that a baby was named after me in Mareroro! Cassidy Cann sent us an email with this update and a photo of the little guy (very cute). It seems to be a common thing to have children named after you in PNG. However, it tends to only happen with individuals you have built a relationship with. Zach Cann had this happen when he was in Madang during orientation.
Namu is the dad of this little guy. He was instrumental in helping Matt, Zach and I house build. He primarily helped on the trip where we dug post holes, setup post, and built the foundation in preparation for the first housebuilding crew. You can see Namu in the photo – he has his hand on my head for some reason.
Anyway, Lorie and I thought it was great to have a child in Mareroro that will bear the name Jeremy (or Jeremiah as I am called in Mareroro). His age will be a helpful reminder of when team nDo began their work in Mareroro!
