Yes, please do.

I'm presenting the training in Madang (yesterday and today), and need
to fire up the students some more -- sadly about a third of them have
lost their tokples.  No-one is aware of the exceptional density of
languages in Madang Province, and few really appreciate the level of
outside interest in PNG languages.
