Pope Francis made a significant visit to Vanimo, a remote township in Papua New Guinea, delivering medical supplies and aid as part of his 12-day tour of Southeast Asia and Oceania, the longest of his papacy. He traveled 1,000 kilometers in a Royal Australian Air Force C-130 aircraft and was greeted by a crowd of around 20,000 people, including local missionaries from Argentina. During his visit, he brought hundreds of kilograms of supplies, including medicines, clothing, toys, and musical instruments for children, emphasizing the importance of community support. The Pope praised the local beauty and unity, stating, 'You live in a magnificent land, enriched by a great variety of plants and birds.' He also addressed the need for better treatment of workers in PNG and called for an end to recent ethnic violence. The visit highlights his commitment to addressing the needs of marginalized communities worldwide.
