Although it was a drama, it reflected the reality faced by the people of Wowobo Village in Ward 19, Kikori District, Gulf Province.
For decades, families have travelled for hours by canoe through rivers and swampy waterways to access health services. In emergencies, these journeys have often been difficult, dangerous, and sometimes at the cost of losing some lives.
This powerful โdramatizedโ performance sets the scene for the EDEN Community Mass Training conducted by Gulf Christian Services in partnership with Christian Health Services Papua New Guinea from 18โ23 May 2026.
Over six days, community leaders, health workers, churches, women, youth, and villagers came together to learn about leadership, community ownership, health promotion, and development planning through the EDEN Concept.
One of the most inspiring outcomes of the training was the community's decision to take ownership to shape the future of their community. Through group discussions and voting exercises, the people identified the construction of an Aid Post as their highest priority, followed closely by rebuilding their primary school.
"The struggle to paddle for hours on end through swamp waters during emergencies has cost lives. We need health services here in our community," shared one mother during the training.
The EDEN program challenges communities not to wait for change, but to become the change they want to see.
