Seven female final-year students from the University of Technology (Unitech) were among those recently certified as facilitators of a leadership program run by the PNG Tribal Foundation in Lae, Morobe province.

All female final year students who are studying Mathematics and Computer Science, Geographical and Information Science, and Science and Food Technology, completed an 11-week journey focused on values and servant leadership through the Senisim PNG transformation table sessions.

Ten women from the Nganalaka Catholic Community in Bitkapuk, Gazelle, also received certificates.

Lead facilitator Jenitha Wale described the program as very impactful, noting it prompted deep reflection on character, attitude, and purpose among participants.

“Many of us became more positive, confident, and mindful in how we interact with others,” said Ms. Wale, adding that her own experience as a first-time facilitator taught her to lead with patience, empathy, and confidence.

She said the students have expressed interest in starting the tables and bring in more students and youths on teaching values and transforming minds of the future generation.

“Since I am completing my final year at Unitech, I hope to facilitate another group wherever I move next hopefully at my future workplace.”

About ten tables are currently underway in Port Moresby, Lae and Kokopo who are also facilitating their tables.

The Foundation urges interested organizations, groups, association, families, schools to come onboard and be an agent of change for this country by joining the program.
