Finuwe - three years old. In a mountain village of Papua New Guinea's Morobe Province, children in the Early Childhood Development program embrace learning using Bilum packs at school and home. Children aged three to six years old attend the Early Learning Centre from 8 am to 12 pm, where they participate in a series of six activities using Bilum packs (a traditional, intricately woven bag). Each pack contains material relating to an activity: morning meeting, literacy circle, corner play, snack and outdoor time, math circle, and closing meeting. There are also additional Bilum packs that teach about the importance of handwashing and prayer before meals. When parents and carers pick up their children, the educators encourage them to go home and repeat the Bilum pack activities, which helps to reinforce the learnings from that morning. The Convergence Program is a multisectoral program which includes activities across health, nutrition, education, WASH, child protection, and social policy sectors. It is delivered in two districts in two provinces in Papua New Guinea (Morobe and Madang provinces).     The program is led by UNICEF PNG and supported by UNICEF Australia and UNICEF Aotearoa New Zealand.
