Meanwhile he highlighted that our country’s development and future growth is entirely depending on an educated population. “Access to education is fundamental but unfortunately, our government’s negligence and unfair treatment of this group continues to widen the gap between children who are in and out of school.” “Together with Theodist Ltd and other Life PNG Care partnerships and supporters, we can shape and change the future we desire, let us work together to build a stronger community!”
