Despite offers of assistance from donors, progress toward a stable solution remains slow, and delays in official responses have increased the vulnerability of families, particularly women and children. In recent weeks, reports of evictions and the destruction of homes and property have further deepened the hardship. Several students residing in the affected areas have been impacted, with some withdrawing from school for the 2026 academic year.

In a gesture of Christian solidarity, Don Bosco Technical School (DBTS), Gabutu, has extended temporary food assistance to support the immediate needs of the displaced families. While the institution has no direct involvement in the land dispute, it has sought to respond to the humanitarian needs arising from the situation.

In a gesture inspired by the words from the Acts of the Apostles that remind Christians of the joy found in giving, Don Bosco Technical School (DBTS), Gabutu, extended temporary food assistance to help meet the immediate needs of the displaced families. Although the institution has no direct involvement in the land dispute, the Salesian community chose to stand in solidarity with those facing hunger and hardship during this difficult time.

Fr. Ambrose Pereira, the Rector of DBTS Gabutu, expressed heartfelt appreciation to the staff, students, past pupils, and parishioners of Mary Help of Christians Sabama for their generous outreach. Staff from Don Bosco Technical Institute (DBTI), Boroko, along with members of the DBTS Pastoral Team and several benefactors, also contributed to the donation drive. The 2 Mile Evictee Community in Port Moresby has expressed sincere gratitude for the support, as this timely assistance has brought visible relief and renewed hope, especially among mothers and children affected by the evictions.
