As part of the 'Read Wantem Pikinini Project ' the UPNG Literature Reader Society (LRS)  successfully conducted a reading awareness program at Taurama Primary School.

A diverse group of volunteers, including UPNG students and local youths, came together to inspire a passion for reading among the students.

"Reading, as we know, is a crucial aspect of building one's literacy skills. It is crucial for academic, social, and intellectual growth and development," said LRS Vice President Juliana.

Juliana highlighted the creativity and leadership of the volunteers, She added, "We entrust our volunteers with their creativity to steer each session, and we're grateful for the outcome. Each shared unique, fun ways to engage with the students, creating a rainbow of experiences."
