DWU Students Hold Floral Tribute

Students of Divine Word University, Madang Campus, came together in prayer, remembrance, and solidarity during a Floral Tribute held in honor of those who lost their lives in the recent sea tragedy in East New Britain Province.

Led by the East New Britain Students Association (ENBSA), the tribute was attended by Fr. Vincent Agbeyome-Akpah, Chaplain of DWU, alongside representatives from the provincial student associations of West New Britain, New Ireland, Morobe, Manus, Autonomous Region of Bougainville (AROB), East Sepik, West Sepik, Eastern Highlands, Madang, and many other provincial clubs within the Divine Word University community.

The event also brought together members of the DWU Catholic Students Association, Madang Technical College ENBSA, and the Madang East New Britain community, all united in extending their heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones affected by the tragedy.

Through the laying of flowers and moments of prayer, the gathering reflected the spirit of compassion, unity, and support that defines the DWU community. It was a solemn reminder that in times of grief, we stand together as one family, sharing in the sorrow of those who mourn and offering hope through faith.

To the families who have lost their loved ones, the Divine Word University community extends its deepest sympathies and prayers. Until then, little angels and hardworking parents, may your souls rest in eternal peace.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace.

PNGFRI Donates 100 Tree Seedlings to DWU

Divine Word University, Madang Campus today received 100 tree seedlings from the Papua New Guinea Forest Research Institute (PNGFRI) in support of the University's upcoming 30th Anniversary celebrations.

The seedlings were officially presented by PNGFRI Director, Professor Philip Siaguru, to DWU President, Professor Fr. Philip Gibbs. Accompanying Professor Siaguru were Manager-Planted Forest, Mr. Anton Lata, along with Mr. Haydrian Morte and Mr. Philip Banban, who support PNGFRI's forest development and nursery operations.

In receiving the seedlings, Fr. Philip Gibbs expressed his sincere appreciation to the PNGFRI team for taking time out of their busy schedules to personally deliver the trees to the University.

"This is a wonderful contribution to our 30th Anniversary celebrations and will fit perfectly into our anniversary program. We greatly appreciate the effort and commitment of the PNGFRI team under the leadership of Professor Siaguru," Fr. Gibbs said.

Professor Siaguru thanked DWU for extending the invitation and request, noting that PNGFRI remains committed to the State's benchmark of planting 800,000 hectares of forest across Papua New Guinea.

"Our motto is 'Painim graun, planim diwai.' When we received the invitation from Divine Word University, we said that if DWU is providing the land, then let's go. We are always looking for opportunities to plant more trees and contribute towards this national goal," Professor Siaguru said.

In response to DWU's request, PNGFRI donated a mix of Pinus caribaea, Walnut, and Tristaniopsis seedlings, a total of 100 seedlings representing both tropical forest and hardwood species,

"We are very happy to contribute to DWU's 30th Anniversary. We hope these trees will help beautify the campus and create a lasting legacy for future generations. We also hope to return one day and see these trees growing and thriving," he added.

The presentation highlights the shared commitment of DWU and PNGFRI towards environmental stewardship, sustainability, and creating a greener future for Papua New Guinea.
