[ANU Pacific.Institute] tonight's event to support PNG

[Miranda Forsyth]

Dear all,

Further to the our announcement yesterday of a prayer vigil to express solidarity with PNG people as during this time, we wish to advise that the event will proceed as planned from 6-10pm tonight at the Coombs Tea Room.

We understand that in a fast changing situation it is difficult to ascertain accurate news and information in respect to the actual number of people affected and the nature of this affect.

What is clear is that PNG is navigating through a difficult period in which we as a collective community who have a long and deep connection with PNG are feeling concern and hoping for a peaceful settlement for all Papua New Guineans.

Please join us as we mutually support each other to better understand, seek solutions and hope for peace.

The program will be as follows:

1. Arrival
2. Welcome and entry.
3. Liturgy led by Deveni Temu
4. A series of five minute statements including by: PNG Students, PNG Community, ANU representatives; Pasifika Students Association
5. Blessing of food, choir singing, interaction
