In an interview with Elevala Women’s Fellowship Social Committee leader, Igo Morea, she said it was a good opportunity and an eye opener to learn the basics each of the different types of cancer that commonly exist in our country.

Joy Tera, another young woman employed with Fair Fax, said the PNGCF has done a great job in educating the young women present in this session.

Both participants agreed however, that more awareness is needed in the local and volatile communities and the rural populations of the country.

There were closed door sessions only for the leaders to elaborate further on these issue and in the end come up with sets of recommendations as a way forward to their response to tackling HIV and GBV related matters in the country.

It is anticipated that from this summit, the outcomes would include understanding the level of active involvement and participation of church leaders in HIV advocacy.
