Paige West and her longtime collaborator from Papua New Guinea, John Aini, received two major grants in support of their project “Deepening Socio-Spiritual and Socio-Ecological Practice in Papua New Guinea.” These grants allow them to continue to work with 23 Indigenous communities in New Ireland. The two foundations who provided these funds wish to remain anonymous.
