Children in West Papua – Jubi
Jayapura, Jubi – Papua Governor Lukas Enembe said not all Papuan children in rural and coastal areas spend their childhood as they should.
“There are many children who work hard to help parents in order to sustain life and do not have a chance to play and develop themselves because of the limitations,” Enembe said in Jayapura on Monday (24/08/2015).
Therefore, according to Enembe this should be a concern to all parties to and spur efforts to increase welfare both in the city and in the villages of Papua.

“It is devoted to build the character of children in the village in order to develop Papuan children to be healthy, have intelligent faith and morals,” he said.
