Divine Word University (DWU), located in the center of Madang, is consumed in an absolute crisis as the institution's strength is continuously tested by shortages of fuel, water, and electricity. The President of DWU, Professor Father Philip Gibbs, in an interview with PNG HAUSBUNG spoke about the ongoing issues of fuel, water and continuous power outage in Madang and the steps taken to get through these trying times. Professor Gibbs said, “Unlike earlier challenges, this one is much more dangerous, requiring the organization to implement stringent fuel restriction in order to maintain essential operations.” "Our previous buffer with fuel reserves spared us from such crises.” “However, this shortage marks a notable departure from the average.” The town's water supply has been disrupted, making the problem worse throughout the dry season, and DWU has been battling this issue. Innovative measures have been taken to counter this, such as purchasing a water truck for delivery and looking into subterranean water sources to augment supply. Notwithstanding the obstacles, DWU is unwavering in its dedication to providing continuous instruction. Large generators reduce interruptions, but sporadic malfunctions call for staff cooperation and adaptable solutions. "Staff cooperation and patience are required due to the intermittent malfunctions.” “Nevertheless, we work to preserve operational continuity through sensible power and fuel rationing.” According to Professor Gibbs, health issues are a major concern, with particular attention paid to water quality and food safety. Although the facility has so far been able to minimize health hazards, periodic freezer failures have resulted in significant losses because of food spoiling. Professor Gibbs is cautiously optimistic about the future and is pleading with regulatory bodies and electricity companies for assistance. Reevaluating solar power regulations and enhancing service reliability are essential steps in effectively overcoming these obstacles but DWU as Professor Gibbs is located within the urban area with limited space. The DWU community is standing together in solidarity, and they are determined to work for a better future in which fuel, water, and power shortages are only distant memories.
