Literacy and early learning school in a remote village in PNG

CFC ANCOP Australia is providing financial support to the construction and maintenance of an adult literacy and early learning school in Markham, a remote village situated near Lae, Morobe Province in Papua New Guinea. The project was initiated by the local CFC Handmaids of the Lord of Lae, headed by Delma Dumas. From humble beginnings in 2018 when the school operated from a makeshift nipa structure, the school is now housed in a concrete structure, and has an enrollment of 430 students.

Sharings from the ANCOP Immersion Trip

"We were also wary, warning ourselves that as we enter into an encounter, we are entering a “holy ground”, every person that we would meet is a brother and a sister, worthy of respect and dignity, worthy to come back home to, that we should “take off our sandals” first if through them, we wish to see the face of God. " Be inspired by the stories of those who, by the grace of our Lord, had the chance to join an ANCOP immersion trip to the Philippines in 2019, before Covid interrupted our travels.
