SYLVESTER is a latin name meaning-Woods. Sylvestor Komboni Walando born in 1990,25 of march in an island nation of the Pacific region(Melanesian region) north of Australia, in Papua New Guinea. From Sandaun province in Nuku district.

He came from a Roman Catholic family in Makru and Tawatuku tribe of Nuku central LLG, Ward 4(YIMINUM) and Ward 6(WILWIL). He is mixed parentage of the tribe or clan and respective place mentioned. The 4th born of the family of 8( 4 boys and 4 girls, all alive and well) from beloved Papa and Mama(Mr. John Awalesu Walando and Mrs. Ottillia Tawamana Namtane Walando).Father a DPI officer(DLO) and Mother a teacher(Primary school) currently both teaching and working in PNG,Sandaun province serving in Nuku their home district.

In 1990 to 1997, Sylvester spent most of his time with his parents growing up in Aitape another town located at the coast of Sandaun towards the Bismarck sea.

In 1999 he enrolled in Holy Trinity (Wati) Community School (at that time) and started his early years of formal education as a Grade 1 student whom he was taught by his only beloved Mama(in their own language=NAWA). An event Sylvester remembered most was, one stormy afternoon straight after their class the classroom collapse while they stood watching helplessly, he should have been buried alive under the classroom but unfortunate because he was planned to live to tell the story to the whole world, hahaha!

Transferring from Wati Primary school to Nuku Primary School station, a government school was quiet a lot of difference especially in discipline.
