Grade 11 student at the Busu Secondary School in Lae, Charlene Sahoto, went viral after a video of her playing the violin at their recent school exhibition was uploaded on social media.
The 17-year-old, who is from Manus and Bougainville, dreams of being part of an international orchestra; playing on a stage with other like-minded musicians, touching hearts and minds with their melodies.
With her family’s support, Charlene is steadily walking towards her dream following her acceptance into Fountainview Academy in Canada.
