In January 2024, PNG’s capital, Port Moresby, was thrown into turmoil as civil unrest swept through the city. The suburb of Gerehu was caught in the crossfire.
Determined to bring positivity to young people in Gerehu following the unrest, a group of mates formed ‘Chess InDa Hood’. The game of chess is now teaching strategy, discipline and a new way to think about their future and keep youth out of trouble.
‘The Pacific’ is hosted by Johnson Raela and Alice Lolohea. #ABCThePacific
