Pacific Pulse
one ocean – many stories
Pacific Pulse ventures beyond the headlines with feature stories from Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia that reflect contemporary life across the Pacific and recognise the strengths, hopes, achievements and aspirations of the region.
Episode 18 - Kaugere school
In this episode of Pacific Pulse, Tania Nugent returns to her home town Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, where she visits one of the city's oldest and most infamous settlements. Kaugere is associated with poverty, crime and hopelessness but one local couple is trying to change that. Peter and Lydia Kailap were raising their own large family in Kaugere and struggling to afford school fees so, in 2009, they started free classes for the settlement's children with just a tarpaulin on the ground and local residents volunteering as teachers. In just over a year, the Children's University of Music and Arts doubled in size with more than 300 students, aged between 12 and 20 years old. Most had never been to school before. As well as reading, writing and arithmetic, there's a special focus on music to encourage the settlement's children to dare to dream of a better future.
