The We Are One Foundation officially hosted its Mother’s Day Charity Music Festival today, a vibrant celebration dedicated to honoring the matriarchs of Papua New Guinea (PNG) while championing a vital cause.
All funds raised from the event will go directly toward patient care at the Cervical Cancer Screening Center at the Port Moresby General Hospital.
The line-up featured a powerful mix of local and international talent.
Making a special trip for the event, is Australia-based PNG artist Chris Cobb who flew in alongside his protégé, Henry Catania.
For Cobb, the journey was deeply personal.
He noted that traveling from Australia was a small gesture compared to the importance of giving back to the women of PNG in their fight against cervical cancer.
Cobb shared a moving tribute, saying in tok pisin, "Ol mama, ol susa, na ol meri blo yumi ba karim future generation blo yumi."
The gates opened at 2:00 pm, welcoming a sea of families from across the city.
As the sun begins to set over the stadium, the celebration continues, with the final notes scheduled to ring out at 8:00 pm.
Between the soaring vocals and the community spirit, today wasn't just a concert; it was a powerful stand for the health and future of PNG’s mothers and women.
