From Rubbish Dump to Classroom
Located on the outskirts of Port Moresby, there is a swamp that is known for its dangers and high crime rates. This area lacks any government services. Suzette, who lives in the swamp, decided one day to gather all the children from the streets to educate them. She set up a canvas, turning it into a makeshift classroom. Suzette’s heartfelt prayer was to one day have a proper classroom — and now her dream has come true. She is dedicated to educating children and sharing God’s love with the impoverished youth from the swamp.
