25 Young intellectual disabilities athletes successfully participated in the ‘Athlete Leadership Training Program’ which was designed by the Special Olympics Papua New Guinea to develop the young athlete's leadership qualities. The diverse group of participants included students from Callan Inclusive Education Resource Centers, Red Cross Society, Cheshire Disability Centre, and the Academy of Inclusive Learning. The training covered two essential courses, Introduction to Athlete Leadership and Understanding Athlete Leadership, that are specifically designed to empower these special abilities athletes to take on leadership roles. The program features a combination of group and individual activities, incorporating both theoretical and practical components. Among the SOPNG facilitators was Miss Hannah’s Beauty Box, Shonaye Leslie who emphasized the key qualities of effective leadership, and the various roles athletes can assume within Special Olympics, their schools, and local communities. Then right after the theory half of the program, each athlete leader was paired with a mentor to form a mentor-mentee relationship, providing ongoing support and personal development. Acting Program Manager Ectopia Ame explained the significance of this training, noting that while sports are the main focus of Special Olympics, they also focus on capacity building to help develop their athletes. “This training is specifically designed for athlete leaders to teach them how to communicate confidently and lead others,” said Ame. Ame further stressed that such training is important for athletes' personal growth, as leadership development is not commonly taught in schools in Papua New Guinea. She encouraged parents, who were present during the training, to continue supporting their children at home and to bring them to similar programs in the future. At the conclusion of the training, athletes were awarded certificates and badges, marking the beginning of their leadership journey with SOPNG. These 25 special abilities athletes were encouraged to identify areas in which they wish to lead within SOPNG programs where they will receive continued support from special Olympics and their mentors to develop the necessary skill in success in their chosen leadership roles. And showing his aspiration to be a leader is Zechariah Abaik, a Grade 8 student from the Academy of Inclusive Learning. He expressed, “I’ve learned how to become a leader, and now I will go back to school and take on leadership roles. I always enjoy giving speeches during special occasions.” To conclude, Ame announced that additional training sessions will be offered in the near future, including a Family Network program, to further support the athletes’ growth and leadership development.

The 2025 Jacks of PNG Design Competition has once again spotlighted the incredible creative talent across Papua New Guinea, celebrating three remarkable designers whose works drew deeply from cultural heritage and natural beauty. Now in its fourth year, the Jacks of PNG Design Competition continues to provide a national platform for local designers, empowering them to share their stories and traditions through fashion and art. [caption id="attachment_64224" align="aligncenter" width="709"] Solomon Waibauru[/caption] Solomon Waibauru, originally from Milne Bay and flying in from Madang, captivated judges with his Coastal Design. Drawing inspiration from the shell necklaces worn by elder men in Cape Vogel, his piece pays homage to traditions where jewellery signifies social status and is worn during sacred ceremonies. “I took three weeks just to complete my Coastal Design because, as a designer, I had to tell a story through my work.” “People might think it’s an easy job, but it takes a lot of time and dedication.” [caption id="attachment_64225" align="aligncenter" width="715"] Lele Leonard[/caption] Also flying in from Madang, Lele Leonard presented a trio of powerful designs: Great Fishermen – portraying traditional fishing culture and the resilience of PNG’s coastal communities. Great Warrior – featuring a warrior in full bilas, crowned with a bird of paradise and five symbolic stars representing global unity. Oro Butterfly – a tribute to the iconic Oro butterfly, often referenced in local music and culture, affectionately known as the ‘Butterfly bilong Madang’. “I didn’t think my designs would make it into the competition because there are so many talented designers in the country.” “I have been drawing and designing for almost 16 years since I was in primary school, and now being awarded for three of my designs is a testament to hard work and dedication.” [caption id="attachment_64226" align="aligncenter" width="713"] Mike Joseph[/caption] Mike Joseph, who flew in from Mt Hagen, amazed the audience with his environmentally inspired design titled Butterfly Stage. The piece visually narrates the life cycle of a butterfly, from egg to larva, caterpillar, pupa, and finally, its rebirth as a full-grown butterfly - symbolizing transformation, resilience, and continuity in nature. “I love nature, and I wanted my design to be connected back to nature and how it evolves.” “That is why my design is based on the cycle of a caterpillar to a butterfly.” Jacks of PNG remains committed to fostering local talent and inspiring future designers to step into the limelight. A prime example is Ben Jawai, a standout winner of the 2023 competition, whose designs caught the attention of the Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee. His work was chosen for the national team’s attire at the 2023 Solomon Islands Pacific Games, elevating his profile both locally and internationally. “We’re committed to inspiring and supporting your creative and design journeys. Your unique talents strengthen our community,” Jacks of PNG stated, encouraging upcoming designers to seize this incredible opportunity. With the competition set to continue as an annual event, the future looks bright for PNG’s talented designers, as they carve their place in the fashion and design industry.

The tense situation at Koki in Port Moresby this morning that disrupted the normal flow of activities, stemmed from two separate incidents according to police. In an interview with PNG HAUSBUNG today, Chief Sergeant Abel Andrew, the Police Station Commander for Badili Police Station, provided details on the two major incidents that have heightened security concerns in the community. The first incident occurred on the evening of Tuesday April 1st at around 6:00 PM, when police officers from Badili Police Station responded to a reported disturbance at Koki Market and upon arrival, the officers attempted to disperse an unruly crowd and mediate tensions between individuals involved in the altercation. However, during the intervention, a group of 8 men turned on the police, pelting stones and other objects at them. The attack resulted in damage to a police vehicle, with broken windows and dents from the impact with one officer sustained injuries to his arm and head due to the assault. Given the severity of the attack and the increasing disorder, law enforcement officials made the decision to temporarily shut down Koki Market until the 8 suspects are apprehended or brought to them by the community. This measure was intended to prevent further violence, allow investigations to proceed, and ensure public safety. MORNING CLASH BETWEEN TARI AND GOILALA COMMUNITIES The second incident was this morning, Wednesday April 2nd, when tensions escalated further when a violent confrontation broke out between members of the Tari and Goilala communities near Koki Market. Preliminary investigations suggest that the dispute may have stemmed from an unresolved disagreement from the previous evening. However, police are still working to determine the exact cause of the conflict. Eyewitnesses reported that the fight involved the use of bush knives, sticks, and stones. The altercation quickly attracted bystanders, leading to a chaotic scene that required immediate police intervention. Officers were deployed promptly and managed to restore order before the violence could escalate further. While there were no confirmed fatalities, one individual suffered minor injuries while trying to flee the scene. Police took statements from several witnesses and are working to identify those responsible for inciting the violence. Sergeant Andrew has emphasized the need for community members to cooperate with law enforcement to maintain peace and prevent further escalations. He warned against retaliation and urged residents to report any relevant information that could aid in the investigation. "We are committed to ensuring the safety of all citizens and will not tolerate acts of violence that endanger lives and disrupt public order," Sergeant Andrew stated. "Community leaders must step up and take active roles in fostering harmony within their respective groups." To address ongoing security concerns, local police have increased patrols around Koki Market and its surrounding areas and urging residents to remain vigilant and to promptly report any suspicious activities or brewing tensions in their communities. Law enforcement is also encouraging peaceful dialogue and mediation to resolve conflicts without resorting to violence. The situation at Koki Market continues to be closely monitored, and further updates will be provided as investigations progress.

Collaborative efforts are making a tangible impact on healthcare services provided by the Western Provincial Health Authority (WPHA), with several key developments this week underscoring the power of partnerships. The Papua New Guinea Emergency Medical Team (EMT) has donated an ultrasound scan machine to the Daru Provincial Hospital’s accident and emergency department.

This technology will enhance TB screening efforts in communities and will be deployed as part of WPHA’s Specialist Clinical Rural Outreach Program (SCROP). The machine was officially received by World Vision on behalf of WPHA. Further strengthening medical services in the province, the Ok Tedi Fly River Development Foundation Limited (OTFRDFL) has provided a new ambulance to Daru Provincial Hospital. The vehicle was donated on behalf of the CMCA communities along the Fly River corridor. In a ceremony marked by celebration, OTFRDFL Chairman Ps. Steven Bagari presented the ambulance to the hospital’s caretaker manager, Dr. Timothy Danaya, as hospital staff and community members gathered in jubilation. Reflecting on these collaborative efforts, WPHA CEO Dr. Miriam Boga emphasized the importance of partnerships in driving progress. “The potential for transformation is inevitable when everyone brings their share to the table – individuals, communities, the organization and department, the local and provincial government, and development partners,” she said. These latest contributions highlight the growing role of partnerships in improving healthcare services in Papua New Guinea, ensuring better medical care and access for communities in need.

The PNG 3x3 Paradise Men’s and Women’s teams faced formidable challenges in their opening matches at the international competition in Singapore yet displayed commendable resilience and determination despite tough losses. In their first game, the Men’s team battled hard but fell short against Kazakhstan, suffering a narrow 18-16 defeat. Meanwhile, the Women’s team struggled against a dominant Indonesian squad, with Indonesia claiming a decisive 17-5 victory. Despite these setbacks, the Men’s team made a strong comeback, securing a well-deserved win against the Maldives with a final score of 21-15. Head Coach Gabriel Elavo acknowledged the resilience shown by his players during the matches but also highlighted areas for improvement. He stressed the importance of minimizing turnovers, avoiding unnecessary fouls, and exercising patience in decision-making. Additionally, Elavo noted that effective communication on defense and proper execution of set plays was essential to the team’s success moving forward. [caption id="attachment_63865" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Pic Courtesy Basketball Federation of Papua New Guinea Inc: The Team Paradise Women[/caption] Elavo, however, remained optimistic and highlighted the positive aspects of the team's performance. These included composed play, the creation of scoring opportunities, and strong defensive efforts. Despite the early losses, Elavo believes the team has significant room for growth and improvement, these was the reflection on the team's overall performance. "We stuck to what was working for us as a group, but the opposition has been playing together for a while, and their familiarity with 3x3 basketball showed." "We competed really well after two losses, but we could’ve won if we had knocked down our open shots and cut down on turnovers." "I’m proud of the team for translating our training into the game, but we need to play in more 3x3 tournaments or competitions locally to gain more experience. There were rules we were unfamiliar with, and that cost us the game against Kazakhstan. But there is still a lot of room for improvement," he said. The team participated in a training clinic on Saturday, and a coaching clinic today. These sessions are expected to offer valuable insights and enhance the team’s preparation for their future matches. Coach Elavo also took the opportunity to express his gratitude to those who have supported the team throughout the journey. “I want to thank our major sponsor, BFPNG President Mr. David Peter, the BFPNG staff, the basketball community, our families, and most importantly, our team of VP Mr. Simon Dixsy, TM Ronnie Pomat, AC Michael Henry, and our players Sibona Kala (C), Moses Lune (VC), Ryan Tetemo, Moses Kairi, Betty Angula (C), Normalisa Dobunaba, Betinah Dobunaba, and Hannah Kalua.” As the PNG 3x3 Paradise Team continues their journey in Singapore, they remain focused and determined to bounce back in their upcoming matches.
